Flypaper Lit

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (January 2023). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

Flypaper began as an underground hip-hop zine in the 90's until the internet age forced it online. For years FPM brought the latest in Columbus music, fashion, sports, and culture to the people. In 2018, FPM added poetry to its repertoire and began to grow its literature offerings. Established in 2019, Flypaper Lit is an offshoot of FPM and publishes the best in contemporary writing as well as hosts the archives for Flypaper Magazine.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for some submissions. They charge fees for "tip jar" submissions, feedback & expedited review.
