The Feathered Flounder Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions. We provide the following information as an archive. About Feathered Flounder offers original literary writing by authors who are sixty and older. Each quarterly issue contains short fiction, essays, interviews, and video by writers with original voices. Sometimes serious, silly, irreverent, and wild; sometimes heartbreaking, educative, inspiring—Feathered Flounder aims to inspire, incite, and surprise. Additionally, it strives to illuminate the universal path of aging … and beyond. Part fish and part bird, the Feathered Flounder is born in the imagination of those with the benefit of having accepted the unexpectedness of aging. This fish with feathers swims to our deepest depths and soars through the heavens. It is the nature of creativity.
