ABOUT

Split Lip Magazine is an online literary magazine founded in 2012, publishing flash fiction, fiction, poetry, memoir, and craft/interview content (branded "Lip Service") in monthly online issues. It built its identity as a voice-driven venue with an unpretentious, pop-culture-literate sensibility — its recurring "Now Playing" and "Just One Thing" features pair contributor spotlights with music, film, and TV recommendations, and its blog regularly runs process-based Q&As with authors alongside more traditional book reviews and interviews ("Inter/E/Views"). The magazine has developed ties to wider literary infrastructure, including administering or hosting the PEN/Robert J. Dau Short Story Prize for Emerging Writers announcement and co-organizing fundraisers with peer magazines like Epiphany and Eckleburg Review. It marked its 10th anniversary with a limited-run set of commemorative postcards featuring past covers and micro-work from contributors, sold at AWP.
