Mysterious Mail
HOOT has chronicled its love of receiving random mail-based mysteries before (like here and here). And that hasn’t changed. Not so long ago (well, a bit of awhile ago – blame this editor for the delay) we got a new mail mystery. It seems to be from postcard enthusiasts that tell entire tales, in several […]
Don’t let this happen to another cat. Share poetry the responsible way
As an editor of HOOT and a lover of poetry, I get a little carried away with wanting to share poetry during National Poetry Month. Therefore I strive to find innovative ways to get the word out on the excellence of poetics. So, I thought a great way to share the words might involve drawing […]
The many ways to enjoy HOOT
We might be biased, but we think that our subscribers are among the best and most talented people in the world. Universe. Forever. And even though that’s our opinion, we now have proof that we have the most creative and interesting subscribers. Ever. Britt Gambino, who works and teaches at Gotham Writers Workshop in New York City, was kind […]
We came, we saw, we stamped owls on you
Whoa, Seattle, you ruled. We’ve returned from the land of writers and journals a little weathered, a little tired, and a lot grateful. Thanks to everyone that stopped by to play our dice game of DOOM, and to everyone that subscribed. Were you one of the lucky recipients of good publishing karma from our Publishing […]
HOOT is going on the road!

Congratulations to our winners!
It was an exceptionally difficult choice but we’ve finally picked our winners from The Avenues Writing Center micro fiction contest. After many hours of reading, re-reading, re-re-reading, deliberation, and re-deliberation our panel of experts (hmmm…sort of experts) has chosen winners. We had so much fun reading the creative gems sent into us by these writers […]
HOOT hosts a Micro Fiction contest for Young Writers at the Avenues Writing Center
To drum up interest in flash fiction among Avenues’ middle school student body, The Avenues Writing Center (in New York) has recently launched a series of flash fiction writing contests for their students. One of these contests will be writing micro-fiction to accompany postcard-sized artwork that the students have created recently. …Postcard-sized? Microfiction? Sound familiar? […]
Give the gift of HOOT
The season of giving is upon us! And though we might be biased, everyone at HOOT thinks that our postcard magazine is probably among the best sort of gift to give. Here’s why: It keeps giving! You get a postcard once a month filled with literary dreaminess and a handwritten note from one of our […]
Happy Holiday from HOOT
From all of us birds to you: Happy Thanksgiving. We’re thankful for all of our awesome readers, writers, artists, and fans.
Happy Birthday to us!
And happy anniversary with you, our dear readers! It seems unbelievable that only two years ago we were a twinkle in the eye of our beloved head editors, Amanda and Dorian, and now we are a fully fledged (bird puns) magazine. And we owe it to all of the people who have been supporting us, […]
