Polyclastic poetry and fiery flash spews forth from today's volcanic contributors: Jacob Minasian @carlasameth Lindsey Pharr Ceinwen E Cariad Haydon 🌋read their work • erupt with love for the author🌋

Motion to start an editor swap meet where we get together and re-home the submissions that we love but don't fit. Imagine the fun of submitting somewhere and getting an enthusiastic 'please let us print this' from somewhere else. -rc

I'm thrilled to have my flash "The Kitchen" published by the wonderful Sledgehammer Lit today. sledgehammerlit.com/post/the-kitch…

Kind of wish we dropped Issue 1 yesterday to take attention away from Jeff Bezos… This is our formal announcement that Issue 1 of Dollar Store Magazine drops in ONE WEEK!!! Mark your calendars and get ready for some spicy space writing on July 28th!

Be sure to check out the first issue of Dollar Store Magazine (ON HIATUS, CU IN 2024) and all of the spicy space lit inside (including an ode to butt jokes by yours truly).

We can’t believe there are only TWO DAYS till Issue 1 is released! Six months ago, this little magazine was just an idea. Now, we’re getting ready to release our first issue and open subs for our second. How wild is that?? Thank you for helping make this a reality!

Want a story that includes time travel, revenge, and butt jokes? Check out my story in the inaugural issue of Dollar Store Magazine (ON HIATUS, CU IN 2024)!

The Dollar Store Mag family is getting a little bigger! We’re looking to fill five open positions on our team. They’re volunteer-only, and each position requires teamwork and attention to detail. The link to our application is in our bio, with more info in this thread:

So sorry about the incorrect link being posted! We’re wearing ourselves a bit thin…hence the need for more staff! The correct link is now in our bio, and you can find it here: linktr.ee/DollarStoreMag Thanks for your patience, everyone!
