Issue No. 5, “POST & Present,” will be a postcard book featuring the artwork of Christine Nguyen, completed by your submission!
Our first postcard issue will be a mixture of text and image, exploring the ideas of communication and intimacy. We’ve seen ways technology can bridge the very gap in which it’s created. We can now send our pulse to one another via the Apple watch. We can send short videos and soundbytes over our phones and computers.
To force ourselves to communicate within restraints imposed by society, and to make communication meaningful, we ask you to keep submissions at 100 words or less (enough to fit on a postcard). In today’s tech and image ridden world how can language adapt; how can story-telling convey emotion and experience in a limited space? In 100 words or less think of the transitory nature of language, the way it’s transmitted through time and space, and the impressions it leaves.
100 WORDS OR LESS!

- Fiction
