The Literary Hatchet is an independent international journal devoted to emerging and established voices crafting provocative short fiction and thoughtful poetry and prose. Published three times a year!
The Literary Hatchet was founded in 2008 by a group of writers and editors who were eager to develop a journal that would share new, emerging, and established authors. Since our inception, we have worked with authors and artists from every continent, except Antarctica.
Our mission is simple: giving authors a platform to share their works and engage audiences. Each issue runs between 160 and 250 pages. We pay our authors a small honorarium for their works.
We are proud to offer our latest issue to you, containing 272 pages, 26 short stories, 54 poems, and 11 works of original art/humor.
