Tethered by Letters

Tethered By Letters publishes F(r)iction. The brainchild of a ragtag team of editors, artists, and writers, F(r)iction is the best of everything weve ever loved. F(r)iction is experimental. F(r)iction is strange. F(r)iction pokes the soft spots, touches nerves most would rather remain protected. Printed triannually and distributed around the world,... F(r)iction publishes short fiction, flash fiction, poetry, and nonfiction, in addition to a selection of graphic stories. We have published original work by established authors such as Benjamin Percy, Isaac Marion, Scott OConnor, and Helen Phillips, as well as amazing graphic features, including two Eisner-nominated comics. Not only is this richly-textured magazine a beauty to behold, its also a joy to read from the first vibrant page to the last. This is the type of writing that needs to be published and is probably too truthful for commercial journals. Well done, brave editors, brave writers. This tri-annual zine embraces the best that modern publishing can offer: global voices, limitless design options, and bounteous indie weirdness. F(r)iction delivers stories, poems and comics that rub together with tension, bloom with heat, then kindle flames. F(r)iction stands out for the sheer kinetic energy of its illustration. Drawings spill across every other page in a way that might seem reckless were it not so good-looking. Based in Denver, Colorado, Tethered by Letters (TBL) is a nonprofit devoted to helping creatives reach their potential. Through our education, community, and publishing divisions, TBL works to foster a love of literature, increase literacy rates, and help new creators succeed in the publishing industry.Read More
