PicFic

picofiction: story in 140 characters

 

PicFic is an experimental journal that boils the essence of short stories down so that they can fit in a mobile phone text message. We also push the boundary a bit by publishing story-series that tell a larger story through episodic units (tweets).

Shape of a Box

video poetry & prose

 

We launched our press with a one year project, hosted on YouTube, in which poetry, short fiction, essays, and author interviews live off the page as performance pieces. Each video features the work of one contributor/contribution team. Jessie Carty, the Founding Editor of Folded Word and the Shape of a Box Editor, has moved on as she pursues her career as a poet and educator. Shape of a Box has moved with her. They'd love for you to drop by for a visit in their new home.
