HOOT is coming to a Minneapolis near you!
We’re gathering our owls, and dusting off our wares, and we’re bringing them to Minneapolis for AWP. As always you can expect some of the following: charm, a gigantic die that holds fortune and doom, awe-inspiring poetry and prose under 150 words, and the glow of good fortune from a Publishing Penguin. We always have […]

Congratulations to our winners!
It was an exceptionally difficult choice but we’ve finally picked our winners from The Avenues Writing Center micro fiction contest. After many hours of reading, re-reading, re-re-reading, deliberation, and re-deliberation our panel of experts (hmmm…sort of experts) has chosen winners. We had so much fun reading the creative gems sent into us by these writers […]
