Penny, Issue One, Perfect-Bound Edition
Editors' Note
Welcome to Penny: the collaborative zine of illustrated flash prose. Inside, you’ll find 17 pieces of original illustrated flash fiction, creative nonfiction, and prose poetry.
Our core mission in founding Penny was to bring more readers into the lit mag fold. We approached this mission with a love of illustration and a desire to broaden and deepen the wellspring of literary writing.
After a year-long digital experiment to create a call-and-response platform for writers and illustrators (we like to think of it as an incubator for illustrated prose), we are over the moon to present our first printed issue.
We are huge fans of open calls to submit, and we are proud to feature established and emerging artists alike.
Don’t forget to check out the inspiration notes to learn how the writers and illustrators pursued their visions for the pieces you are about to read and, we hope, love!
