An online & print journal dedicated to innovation & collaboration, Sidebrow provides a forum for exploring the collective & the singular in the literary arts. By taking an open-ended approach to its construction, Sidebrow expands on the traditional literary journal model, showcasing communally derived literary pieces alongside individual works. The end result of the Sidebrow endeavor will be a series of multiple-author, multiple-genre books & chapbooks based on & culled from the various projects & posts evolving on the website. The first book—an anthology of pieces & projects to date—is scheduled for September 2008.

To open the assembly of Sidebrow publications, editors post pieces periodically in hopes of stirring creative response. Submissions that reimagine, depart from, or explore the interstices between posted pieces are highly encouraged. As a way of stimulating such submissions, editors will post generative notes on Sidebrow’s Pasteboard.

Sidebrow seeks fiction, poetry, art, essay, ephemera, found text, academic inquiries into mathematics, economics, & the sciences, political analysis, and literary, cultural, & art critique. In short, engaging material regardless of ilk. Given its desire to unlock what is common to disparate literary, artistic, & cultural pursuits, Sidebrow encourages the submission of both partial excerpts and fully formed works.

Sidebrow evaluates submissions both as stand-alone set pieces & as points of departure for collaboration with editors & with fellow & future contributors. Writers whose submissions resonate with posted pieces or other submissions under evaluation may be contacted to provide targeted creative responses.

Queries and all other correspondence should be sent to sidebrow (at) sidebrow (dot) net.
