HOOT is a magazine on a postcard. Authors from around the world submit their microfiction (very short stories), nonfiction, and poetry to us. Every month, we select one piece to be published on the front of a 4″ x 6″ postcard. We then design a visual element to match the writing, and mail the issue to subscribers!

The idea is that current, quality literature should be accessible to everyone—something  you can participate in and share! Our postcards are short (<150 words), and small enough to be hung as art on fridges or passed to friends.  We also try to hide HOOT‘s around cities in creative ways (think “guerilla literature”), and run free writing workshops (online and in person).

Welcome to our first issue of HOOT!  To buy single copies of this issue (which can be used as postcards!), scroll to the bottom of the page.

We over here are very excited.  It was a pleasure reading all the submissions we received, and it was a pleasure trying to figure out just how to create the perfect visual element to go with the story we chose, for the cover.

This first issue will give you  clue as to what HOOT will be like in future issues.  You can expect something energetic and fresh-feeling.  This first issue is also a clue as to what NOT to expect: we will try to keep it a little different every month–

There is also more work on our website: check out the two pieces of flash fiction and two poems that we have published in our online issue!
