About

First and Last Magazine is your chance to write the Great American Novel - without having to pen all of the words in between. Here's how this works: 1. Conceive of your novel's title. 2. Give us the name of it's "author" (this doesn't have to be you - in fact, it might be more interesting if it isn't. Don't worry, at the bottom of all accepted submissions we will give the real creator all proper and due acknowledgement). 3. Write your novel's first sentence, 4. Write your novel's last sentence 5. Send us a short bio of you, the real author (and if feeling creative, include one for the fictional author as well).
