The Socially Networked Literary Journal

By Jason Boog 

OGR.sidebar.jpgThe new literary journal One Good Read will publish individual issues online and through print-on-demand, with a unique social networking component: all submissions will be posted in the journal’s community space at Fictionaut.

The journal is edited by Chris Kubica and will pay contributors, but, as he writes: “How much…not sure yet. Some $ and printed copies.” According to the site, each issue will rotate around a single theme and all submissions should play with the idea. In an interesting twist, the journal has pre-prescribed table of contents.

Check it out: “In addition, each issue will have only ONE of each of the following types of creative works: One tweet, One poem, One list, One short story, One one-act play, One essay/creative non-fiction, One cartoon/comic strip, One photograph, One drawing/painting, One news story/editorial.”
