About

Sledgehammer Lit is the new lit mag on the block. We want to tear down the walls, shatter preconceptions, and break down barriers. We also want to showcase exuberant poetry and flash. We appreciate technicolour imagery, geographical settings brought to life, and acrobatic turns of phrase. Show us the beauty within the ugliness. Peel back the layers of the onion to reveal inner truths. Bring us your contradictions. Give us gritty realism with a side dish of vulnerability. Give us sarcasm with sincerity. Make us laugh or make us cry. Be yourself, quirks and all. We adore surprises. Feel free to experiment. Throw spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks.
