Fringe Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. About Fringe is the noun that verbs your world. We publish work that is political or experimental in form or content and define both “political” and “experimental” broadly. “Political” can mean work that incorporates or comments on current events or it can mean literature and art that further personal dignity and advocate human rights. We regard “experimental” work as work that breaks with the canon, takes formal risks, or explores a strange or impossible point of view. As a new media journal, we’re able to publish frequently and reach a wider international audience than a traditional print journal (some 13,000+ people across the world each month). In addition, our online format allows us to publish emerging multimedia art such as audio collage, hypertext, and flash poetry.
