Foliate Oak Literary Magazine wants quirky writing . . .
We love previously unpublished quirky writing that makes sense, preferably flash fiction (less than 1000 words). We are eager to read short creative nonfiction also. We rarely accept submissions that have over 2700 words. We enjoy poems that we understand, preferably not rhyming poems, unless you make the rhyme so fascinating we’ll wonder why we ever said anything about avoiding rhymes. Give us something fresh, unexpected, and will make us say, “Wow!”
We are always interested in publishing intriguing photography, artwork, and graphic (you know, comics) literature. Send all artwork as jpg or gif.
Always include a short (less than 50 words) third person bio.
Submission Period: August 1 – April 24
We are unable to pay for work. If the work we have posted is later used in another magazine, we ask that you credit Foliate Oak for first publishing it. Authors retain their own rights and copyright to their works. Foliate Oak only requests one-time, nonexclusive rights. Work will remain archived indefinitely, unless author/artist ask that it be removed from our website.
Complete submission guidelines on Foliate Oak’s website.

Thanks Marlene for the referral to Foliate Oaks.”Quirky” is my bag. They published a short fiction piece of mine in their October online issue. You never know do you… throw enough mud against a wall and some of it might stick…. is my philosophy regarding submitting. I do keep a decorative box to store my rejections as well.
