Just buy the book once, brother. That’s all we can really do. If you’re really excited, maybe finish it.

Hello, /lit/! Recently the horrid state of the magazine situation around here really made me think, we need a magazine that actually PAYS submitters and SUPPORTS the community by developing its professional output instead of just riding /lit/ writers coattails and getting credit for other peoples work.
I present to you Keyword Magazine.
Contributors will be paid $40 per page that contribution takes up. I intend to hit 50 pages of content provided from /lit/, and other 4chan artists. That's $2000 per issue. The editor/graphic designer will be paid $1200 per issue. That's $3200 per issue, enough for almost 22 months of issues with the money I've raised already.
I will have a team of people reading over this, including me, deciding what (and who) is good enough for print.
I look at this money as a business expense that will be paid back 100 fold when the magazine is established. I can easily see this being a new Vice magazine now that there is a hole in the market with them collapsing and creating that hole.
A website should be up and running by the middle of July, and we should have our first issue ready for August 1st!
In the meantime, we are looking for submissions. Keyword Magazine wants micro stories (200 to 2000 words), short stories (2000 to 6000 words) and long form stores (6000 words or more). There is no theme, write what you love! Please send your submissions to:
