A lot has happened since the last issue of The Literary Hatchet! We have updated out website to reflect a new streamlined look and feel. In addition, we are instituting several changes to the way in which authors and artists submit their works to our journal. 

One of the biggest changes is that we will now be charging $1 for each download of each issue of The Literary Hatchet. The cost of publishing our journal has risen exponentially in the last few years, and we can no longer give them away. We trust that price point is low enough to be affordable by most everyone. As always, the hard copy will be for sale on Amazon.com at prices that range from $12-$14.50. 

The second big change is that now we will be charging a small fee to read your submissions. Fiction submissions will be $3, Poetry $2, and Art/Illustrations/Photography submissions will remain free.

We are an independent international literary magazine, founded and managed by a dedicated group of volunteer editors and writers. As we begin our 12th year of publication (wow! I can’t believe it!), we implement these changes with a great deal of trepidation. We don’t want to lose our readership (hence the download amount being very low), nor our authors and artists. Without you, we are nothing.

If anyone finds the submission fee abhorrent, please contact us. We want to hear from you.
