About

The elements and bedrock of Jabberwocky can be largely described as the –ical approach: lyrical, whimsical, mythical, in all its forms, particularly short fiction, poetry, and illustrative. There are no boundaries, no restrictions, no genres. If you love the art of the written word, its structure, its flow, its language, we suspect you’ll love Jabberwocky.

Collapse section Fiction Closed

I want mythpunk, I want purple prose (as long as you don’t allow it to distract from your story), I want to revel in your use of language and in your words. I want to read that story or poem you think will never, ever see the light of day. This is what Jabberwocky is about… the lyrical, the mythical, the whimsical, the magical. I want stories that can’t be categorized, but I do want to see some element of the fantastic in your work. I want the unreal.
