HOOT is a monthly literary magazine. On a postcard!

-We publish current fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and book reviews and are proud to be a 501c3 nonprofit organization.

-Our issues are small and cool looking, so you can also stick 'em on your fridge, or in your husband/wife's briefcase, or leave one on a restaurant table for some random person to enjoy. Imagine, literature that you can pass around!

-At fewer than 150 words an issue (that's shorter than two Twitter tweets!) there's no excuse for you not to read it.

For just $2, we'll mail the current HOOT today to anyone in the United States. With a hand-written, personalized message from you!
