About

The Absynthe Muse Review only publishes work by writers under 25. We also make it a priority to spend time working with our writers to help them revise and improve their work, not only so that The Absynthe Muse Review can publish exceptional short stories, poetry, articles, essays, and interviews, but so that our writers can learn both about writing and the publishing world. [Formerly Jelly Paint.]
