Claudine: A Literary Magazine

Introducing Claudine: A Literary Magazine! Claudine is a sleek cat, curious, clever, quick. . . just like our prose. 🐈‍⬛ Monthly mag for micro prose. Free subs. Paying market. Subs open June 30. First issue Sept 1!!

The interns are a heady duo! Buttercup (red collar) seriously questions whether genre is a useful concept, and Bubbles has strong (negative) feelings about semicolons. Whew! That’s a lot to wade through. Claudine has her work cut out for her.

Please meet our new interns, Buttercup and Bubbles! They will be with us for two weeks to learn how to lit mag before going on to their forever literary homes! Their duties will include lying atop keyboards and chewing the corners of chapbooks!

Announcement!! Today, at 4pm PST, Claudine is getting two new interns. Eeeeeeeeeee!!!! Pictures to come. 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛
