SPILT MILK MAG
collectors & distributors of high class word joy
We want to hear from you. Better yet, we want you to send us something that will give us thrills. We like stories with teeth. We especially like stories about teeth. We like understated oddness and snakes that sleep with one eye open. We like people who can do unusual and arresting things with words, and who can do it well. We are swayed by tone more than content, and if you mesh the subtle and surreal into one seamless wonder, we’d love for you to send us a little something.
We do not like randomness for its own sake. We do not like self-consciously witty anecdotes, forced quirkiness, emotional outbursts, exclamation marks, or anything which smacks of trying-too-hard. We are less keen on things that rhyme, and squirm at the sight of words dotted around a page. Our eyes are lazy.
That said, we also like to be surprised by old things done well, or new things done with old things, so if you have written something that makes you feel oddly proud and excited, it’s always worth hitting us with something chancy.
Check out our lovely links page for things we've enjoyed reading. They will please you.
