Jagged Edge is a new literary magazine of “sharp, pointed” poetry and prose. They accept all genres and styles of writing, and they especially love the unexpected: “we encourage the weird and unclassifiable. we crave the authentic and the raw. we want it all.”
You can read Jagged Edge online to get a sense of what they publish. The editor has also listed authors and presses that have influenced the aesthetic of Jagged Edge, such as Mary Ruefle, Fady Joudah, and Tilted House.
Jagged Edge publishes writing by one author weekly online. So far, they’ve published six authors. When publishing poets, they’ve included two to five poems from each. When publishing authors of prose, they’ve included one to two stories.
Jagged Edge accepts submissions on a rolling basis. Poets may submit up to five poems. Authors of prose—including short fiction, essays, and book reviews—may submit up to two pieces of any reasonable length.
Submitting authors can expect a response within about four weeks. Jagged Edge accepts submissions via email, not online or by post.
In the future, Jagged Edge also hopes to operate as a press, publishing chapbooks and books, as well as a print journal.
