We also have a flash fiction supplemental section known as MiCrow which is produced twice a year, in the summer and winter months. Blink-Ink presents super short fiction in quarterly print editions, with content in the fifty word range. All sections feature art and photography on a regular basis. The eBooks/Download section has content that can be downloaded, such as anthologies and collections.

There’s certainly no shortage of online literary magazines and websites devoted to a wide range of genres, and there are currently thousands of independent small presses. You might ask yourself why we need these outlets, particularly given the sad reality that fewer people are reading and the audience seems too small to support the proliferation of web and print enterprises.
But we would argue that independent press networks need to remain dynamic, vibrant, and continue to support and contribute to the framework that is our biggest strength: our community. We want to seek out emerging, new writers who are doing something that we want to pay attention to. We want to work collaboratively on projects and the distribution of work, and be part of the effort needed to keep the independent press relevant and vital.
When we talk about independent publishing, it is about far more than issues of creative control and commercialization. We recognize and support the practical need for creative people to make a living and to place value on their time and products. “Independent” simply means asserting the circumstances that make it possible to connect on our own terms.
In supporting independent presses and distributors, you are also making a decision to vote with your money about social priorities. We believe that small presses provide the means for important connections between writers and readers, and for members of creative communitites to forge relationships and collectives that are self managed and promote the goals of the members as opposed to a system where there are goals imposed.
The editors of Full of Crow are active in a number of writing and art collectives, independent presses, arts advocacy organizations, and projects. We encourage and support the promotion of work by frequently marginalized writers and the under-represented. We encourage submissions from emerging writers as well as those with numerous publication credits.
We are looking for content that is bold and unapologetic, presented in thoughtful and purposeful ways. We like work that touches on the surreal, the mythic- enduring themes and images that are rooted in something deeply personal but connect to something transcending and universal. As many editors say, we know what it is when we see it.
