The Coil Magazine

Hello, friends. We are moving The Coil away from the staticness of the Medium platform and to a new home on its own site. Currently, medium.com/the-coil will work and get you to the magazine, but thecoilmag.com is no longer redirecting there. @CoilMag #CoilMag

Thanks to @CoilMag for hosting a #writingprompt this month for us to send an #ekphrastic poem or story based on an archetypal print or engraving to delight your readers! #DaguerreoTyped @altcurrent

For anyone who lost a publication space at Catapult due to the mag's closure and needs a space for an essay or piece, we're happy to provide a home at The Coil. We can't pay whatever Catapult was paying, but we have 85k readers and are here if you need us. thecoilmag.com

Five things you might find in my stories: 1 Strong evocation of nature 2 Central Asian settings 3 magical realism 4 female characters that “push against type” (@CoilMag) 5 “fiery women” (@pam_houston) Next Up: @EvMoWi, @D2Montgomery, @BethCastrodale, @aapinkerton, @WendyJeanFox

Thank you @CoilMag for nominating my short story/fable/cautionary tale, The Ballad of Nothing for a Pushcart Prize. The link to read it is pinned to the top of my feed.

Congrats to our Pushcart Prize nominees & good luck!🤞

“What makes us who we are is not just our memories, but also our ability to understand loss.” “Oh, Fry … don’t you know that no matter how long any of us live, we never, ever, figure out how to feel ways about stuff?” @joshdenslow in @CoilMag medium.com/the-coil/when-…

Let's help @joshdenslow celebrate his very first published essay in @CoilMag ! Crazy proud of him! medium.com/the-coil/when-…
