Chismosa Literary

This project is believed to be defunct. (August 2024)

About

To be a writer is to be chismosa. It is to confess on behalf of the world. It is to be the worst secret-keeper of all time. Chismosa literary is a magazine dedicated to the eavesdroppers and the people-watchers. Here, we celebrate being chismosa and turning the people in our lives into plot-devices and protagonists. From a prose-rendition about the things you found in your sister’s diary to a story that recounts your boss’s affair, we encourage you to share the chisme.
