If you’re looking for writing that’s playful and unconventional (maybe even a little mysterious), truly new works that stay with you long after you’ve read the final line, and a publication that makes you excited for each next issue, then click on over to Jelly Squid. Publishing three online issues per year, Jelly Squid Magazine accepts all types of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and artwork, as well as all hybrid forms in between. “We really like to see – and would like to see more of – work that’s unique and experimental,” says Editor Mo Buckley Brown.

Even the name is reflective of this mission. “‘Jelly’ and ‘squid’ are both words that aren’t terribly uncommon,” Brown says, “but they have unique sounds individually, and together, they form a playful combination that felt a little unconventional. We thought this name captured our hopes for what the magazine would be – playful and unconventional, and maybe even a little mysterious.”
