The Cackling Kettle

A project of Lady Book Witch Press

About

The Cackling Kettle is a hand-bound literary magazine produced by Lady Book Witch Press. Although we are not a themed magazine, we are interested in pieces that explore nature, witchcraft, feminism, farming, community, LGBTQIA+ perspectives, and all things Wild. We value work that is daring and different and adore genre-bending works. It’s also worth noting that we nominate for the Pushcart Prize.
