About

Toylit publishes anti-news: that is, literature that rejects the conventional, reactionary standards in journalism. Toylit seeks verse and has a soft spot for short fiction. Literary submissions only. Expository/Journalistic submissions will be rejected, regardless of quality. You can increase your odds of acceptance by writing anti-news; a literary composition that riffs off the news. If you don't know what anti-news means, you should read Toylit until you do.
