Something that totally blows about starting a new litmag is that people don’t have a previous issue to read to see if they fit the vibe of a publication…I’m telling you now that if your piece even has a vibe, it’ll fit in at Exposed Bone. Subs open til August 7!

I’m definitely excited to publish people, but I’m also excited to see where else they publish their work. To see a contributor’s web of influence grow, connecting different places and expanding community, is amazing and should be celebrated. Anyway, we’re open for subs!

Why did we name our mag “Exposed Bone”? Well, the first two names we thought up were way too academic and didn’t actually mean anything, and then we found some words that just felt right together—and here we are. TLDR: The words sound rad.

We aren’t going to have a certain number of fiction pieces or poems dedicated for the issue, just publishing the best of what we received. So it could be a book of poetry and one fiction piece, or a short story antho with a single poem (unlikely, but you get the idea).
