Unlike most prestigious literary magazines we publish your genre fiction. We were founded by Emerson College’s Popular Fiction Writing and Publishing Master’s program, nicknamed “Pop Fic.” To us, genre fiction matters. It’s called Popular Fiction because it’s the fiction that flies off the shelves. We’ve all been gripped by the turn of a page, laughed and cried with our protagonists, explored new worlds and experiences. We learn from our book friends and take on new perspectives. The fun matters. Creativity and imagination is the backbone of our society, not something to be dismissed. Even our grandmothers read romance novels and murder mysteries. The craft of genre fiction is our focus, our passion, our mission. 

“That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse.” -Walt Whitman, “O Me! O Life!”
