'There’s big trouble in the world of little magazines.' — Tristram Fane Saunders @TATFS on what makes 'little magazines' so fragile, why they matter and why they so often vanish without any fanfare. Read here: thelondonmagazine.org/article/essay-…

We’re open for submissions, as always. Send your work over to openpenmag@gmail.com. Our old email, info@openpen.co.uk, is now defunct. If you’ve submitted to us via this address recently, please resend it to our Gmail address. Taa!

@NikiSethSmith Hi Niki, thanks for the kind words! We’d love you to send us a story or two to look at: openpenmag@gmail.com. Taa!

@OpenPenLondon Wonderful to hear, you were missed. We need more spaces like yours for outstanding, inventive prose that exists outside the usual literary bubble

We have some news. We’ve gone through a lot of changes over the last year or so and have come to a difficult and reluctant decision: We’re back. …

4. Again, we’re very sorry and embarrassed we’ve taken so long to awaken from this slumber. If you’d like to send us hate mail and call us losers, we’d love to hear from you still.

3. If you’ve got a story in our anthology which is out this year and we haven’t touched base again already, please email the same address.
