Penelle Magazine

About

Penelle Magazine was founded by Kameron Ray Morton in 2025, simply because they love lit mags. The title comes from the format of the magazine. Each issue features 5(ish) poems, 4 fiction, 3 nonfiction, 2 reviews, and 1 image. When added together, there are 15 things in each issue. When you add the letters in Penelle Magazine, you get 15.
We are especially interested in submitters who have a connection to the South and in particular, Arkansas.
