The Absynthe Muse Review
The Absynthe Muse Review adds a unique twist to the normal literature magazine routine. It only publishes authors who are under 25. The editors who are all under 21 themselves really work with each submission and each author to get the best product.

It’s a great opportunity to any rookies who need a little support along the way. Authors with poetry, flash fictions, and short stories are accepted. The Absynthe Muse Review proudly boasts the beginning of its first print version which will be published bi-annually enabling the pay of contributors. Only electronic submissions will be accepted.
