Dear Sir,

This project is believed to be defunct. (November 2014)

About

Dear Sir, is a quarterly online journal created from the want to present innovative, unconventional or emerging voices in literature. It is based around the concept of quality over quantity, and will therefore only feature a clutch of writers in each issue whose work in some way, and somehow, surprises. Send short or long poems in English, German or French, submit narratives, fragments, notations of sound poems, marginalia, experiments and manifestos, send traditional forms revamped, dialogues, monologues and monosyllables. Dear Sir, leans towards the poetic, the speculative and the cross-genre.
