Audience Askew Literary Journal

A project of Nat 1 Publishing (see other related projects).

About

At Audience Askew, we like the strange, quirky, and unique—aiming to find thought-provoking stories, engaging poetry, and distinctive artwork that doesn’t quite fit in anywhere else. We welcome new and established authors, poets, and artists worldwide who want to showcase their talents to an audience just as askew as they are.

Voluntary Fees: This project accepts voluntary fees for "tip jar" submissions and expedited responses.
Submission Caps: They may close to submissions early if they reach their quota.

Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
