JAKE

Lit mag looking for a poetry editor!!!

In general, reading and responding to submissions, with the possibility to work on other projects like developing chapbooks with authors, coordinate/participate in readings, and help with live events where needed. It's all pretty loose depending on needs of the mag/availability & interest of editor.

JAKE is a fun as hell mag and you should be part of it!

yooooooo! fyi, y'all.

note it, poets 👇

Do you want to edit for JAKE? The poetry team is looking for some more hands!

Surfer We asked the 911 lady—Evie—about the weirdest call she ever got.

The taste of chocolate and mushrooms lingers on the back of your tongue like the eucharist; sweet, earthy, and hard to swallow.

This piece by @extrasauce.bsky.social , “Lifestyle,” uses different strokes, literally and figuratively. It is visceral and intense, so try not to struggle too hard against it.
This piece is out on Sunday, 7/27. Repent after reading.

My book, “Day 3 of a 5 Day Headache” is one of those books! Very exciting! Amazing work by our friends at JAKE (@publishedbyjake.bsky.social).

Sincerely though, it was nice to talk to actual journalists interesting in covering a story in its totality rather than propagandists writing a hit piece.

Buy my book. It’s $10, and if you ever see me, I’ll buy you a Guinness. Or I’ll send you a postcard with a secret message and an animal drawing. Or both a beer and a postcard! tinyurl.com/day-3-of-a-5-day-headache @publishedbyjake.bsky.social

Selfishly recommend you buy one of the last remaining copies of “Day 3 of a 5 Day Headache”. Only $10. And I’ll buy you a Guinness, so it ends up being like $3, and you get a book and a beer. That’s how math works, right? (@publishedbyJAKE.bsky.social) tinyurl.com/day-3-of-a-5-day-headache

Hey you. Preorder my book! I’m gonna say this everyday until you do it!
