Outsider Writer publishers and promotes zines and journals in need of good, alternative writers. Apply within! Got an announcement? Contact our red hot fire engine of poetry, Marissa Ranello .
If you have a funny writing-related story, Salingeresque and its readers want to hear it. Send anything that may contribute nothing to the general welfare of others, but whose sole purpose is to make us laugh, hopefully hysterically. Food for thought, as well as deep meaning, or (retch) "significance" are grounds for rejection. I hope that's clear. Now, get to work. I mean, you know, don't.

About OW!
Outsider Writers have been distributing chapbooks in dark subterranean caverns for too long. The corporate presses and literary institutions have no vision. The media is irrelevant. It's time to rise into the sun!
Our Goal: Unite the write! We will join forces where we are strong, eliminate duplication of effort where we are weak and put the power and authority over literature back into the hands of the only legitimate owners: the authors and the readers.
