We are the lucky recipient!

At HOOT we love being chosen for things. Even better if those things happen to be postcard projects (’cause we’re a postcard magazine, see the connection?). Not so long ago this showed up on HOOT headquarters’ doorstep: Because we are a group that loves writing and pictures (and pictures with writing), a little investigation was […]

Guerrilla HOOT

Ever since its conception HOOT has championed the idea of guerrilla literature. The idea of shareable literature and found art was important in both the concept and the aesthetic of our magazine. Editors and interns have taken a considerable amount of joy by spreading flash fiction and poetry through postcard bombing museums (in the friendliest […]

We recently received this mailed submission (we think it was a mailed submission?) and while we couldn’t accept the enclosed poem for the online or print issue, we […]

A blog! A blog! We have an, occasionally updated, blog (we’ll only put the coolest stuff on here, promise)!
