ARMCHAIR/SHOTGUN was founded by John M. Cusick, Kevin Timothy Dugan, and Evan Simko-Bednarski in January 2009, probably the third worst month for unemployment in American history since the 1930s. We publish fiction, poetry, visual arts, interviews and nonfiction pieces biannually. At Armchair/Shotgun, we do not care about your bio. We read all submissions anonymously, and conceal even an author’s name until a piece has been selected for publication. We feel that good writing does not know one MFA program from another. It does not know a PhD from a high school drop-out. Good writing does not know your interstate exit or your subway stop, and it does not care what you’ve written before. Good writing knows only story. ARMCHAIR/SHOTGUN accepts poetry, fiction, non-fiction and visual arts submissions for publication on real honest-to-goodness paper.
