Firewords Quarterly is a newsprint magazine packed full of powerful fiction and poetry - all enhanced by bold design.
This independent publication was set up by a small group of creatives who were frustrated with writing magazines that concentrated on substance over style, or vice versa. Firewords Quarterly aims to have an abundance of both: fantastic creative writing enhanced by original design and illustrations. The team strives to make short fiction and poetry more accessible and, above all, provide a stronger platform for new writers to have their writing seen and remembered.
As well as the teaser issue (shown here), the first edition is already in production, with submissions currently open, until 15th April, for short fiction (under 2000 words) and poetry.
Each quarterly will be based on an exciting theme, although any topic is accepted. What counts is the originality and flare of the work in question. Click here to read the submission guidelines.
The first issue can be pre-ordered by backing the project's Kickstarter campaign, which is a renowned platform enabling individuals to support new creative projects and receive various rewards in return: www.firewords.co.uk/kickstarter
