UK MAGAZINES

The AA Independent Press Guide started life as a supplement to Acid Angel Magazine, back in 1998. Since then, it has grown and grown, and now over 2,000 print and internet magazines and publishers are listed from all over the world. The one thing that hasn’t expanded is the editorial team. That is, it is still a one man operation, and it is physically impossible for this one man to keep tabs on everything in this guide. Whilst I endeavour to keep The AA Independent Press Guide as accurate and up-to-date as possible I just don’t have the time, energy or finance necessary to constantly check and re-check each listing. Magazines and publishers come and go, just like that. So, inevitably, some of the magazines and publishers listed will no longer be operational. There will also be omissions in this guide: magazines and publishers that aren’t listed.

You can help out, by making me aware of any inaccuracies and omissions in this guide. Just email me at aa-independent-press-guide@ntlworld.com and let me know what you know. Then I can let everyone else know too!

Imogen Salt, Flat 1 63 Montpelier Road, Brighton, BN1 3BB, England, UK.

Email: imogensalt@hotmail.com accepts email submissions.

Editorial: This is a lo-fi poetry zine make no mistake, that’s why its cheap and occasionally cheerful. Inside there's pictures too, and poems from about 22 contributors. It's a totally subjective choice. I like stuff that makes me feel a feeling usually. Comprehensible to all folk is useful too, but if not, if you must be obscure, then be beautiful. Often I am taken with a
seemingly simple poem, with one entirely original or unlikely feature, be it its subject, turn of phrase, or form. NB: stories and poems to be no longer than a page.

EEEEE.

It also covers related art forms and where storytelling overlaps into them. It features articles about storytelling, reviews, news, letters, sometimes poems and drawings, and of course stories.

INTERLUDE MAGAZINE
Limehouse Town Hall, 646 Commercial Road, London, E14 7HA

Email: submissions@interludemagazine.co.uk accepts email submissions

Website: http://www.interludemagazine.co.uk/ (see website for submission criteria)

The genesis of Interlude lies in the need to “shelter” ideas and samples of one’s artistic and personal research: work still in progress, or too fragile to let stand on its own, roaming ideas, or formed projects which stand lonesome, finding it difficult to fit within their fellows. These scraps of work need a home and a magazine could be the suitable place for them to be welcomed and take physical shape. A magazine could also act as a melting pot where ideas could be stirred up, exhaling new inspiration. Interlude is not a strictly political, social, literary or artistic magazine – any intelligent and interesting contributions are welcomed. However, the magazine is not intended to be a mere showcase for artists’ work – pieces should match the spirit of the magazine. We feel that it is not fair to grab stuff and just throw it on a page for the sake of having it displayed - ideas need a “cosy” environment. We think that the page and the work on it should live together in a sort of symbiosis: the page emphasising the work rather than distracting from it. We value the principle of simplicity when creating a page, where the design is motivated by the content.

Editorial: island seeks to provide a distinctive space for new writing inspired by nature and exploring our place within the natural world. island publishes poetry, prose poems, non-fiction fragments, essays, and concrete poetry. Each issue is partially themed (see website) with a dynamic approaching that of an informal anthology. Seeking a sense of open space, the editor has a preference for short pieces, and for work that uses the landscape of the page creatively: for work that allows both the reader and the words to breathe. A single cell, an island, or the earth seen from orbit – the themes of isolation and connection that island the word invokes are important to island the magazine.

Favours work that may be unsure of itself but is willing to explore untried directions. Predictability, dogma and wordiness will almost always be rejected. Doesn't want safe predictable poems you know you can write about what you know. Wants poems that go to the high wire across the abyss. Don't walk it, dance it. Risk the fall. Test the boundaries. If you crash, crash with panache. Your poem may look safe, may start safe but take off. I hope it does. I love to see poets flying.

E-mail: moonshine@murderslim.com

Editorial: The first issue of "The Savage Kick" features a perviously unpublished story by Dan Fante... and his ballsy style is typical of the magazine.

SAW

Colin Shaddick., 4 Masefield Avenue, Barnstaple, Devon, EX31 1QJ,

England, UK.

Email: sawpoems@btinternet.com accepts email submissions.

Frequency: 2 per year.

Editorial: The idea for Saw grew out of pure frustration. Many of the large number of poetry groups who describe themselves as “creative”, are in fact not in the least creative. They meet to drink tea, nibble at biscuits and verbalize on how disgusted they are with the “F” and “C” words. They churn out “Moon In June” light verse month after month, whilst civilisation crumbles around their ears and the English language cracks and churns through a painful e-driven metamorphosis … and all without a nod of recognition! Surely poets should be social commentators too?

Poets published in South are invited to take part in the public reading that launches each new issue. Founded as a poetry magazine for the southern counties of England, it now reaches many parts of the world. Please note that submission guidelines have recently been changed.

10^thMUSE:

Andrew Jordan, the editor of 10^th Muse, does not want his details listed in The AA Independent Press Guide. In fact, he is so opposed to having his details listed on this website, he complained to my internet provider. I can only speculate about the reason for this, but I suspect it is because I questioned his aggressive, divisive reviewing stance. It certainly isn't because he doesn't want his details in the public domain, as they can be found on the Poetry Library's website at http://www.poetrymagazines.org.uk/magazine/index.asp?id=70 So, if you're interested in submitting work to 10^th Muse, you'll find all the necessary information there. Personally, as an ex-contributor to his magazine, I wouldn't recommend it; as I've had a gutful of abuse from AJ over the years.
