Spout Press

Spout began as a quarterly literary journal back in 1989, and after fifteen years we have garnered a national following, publishing the finest in contemporary experimental writing. With our long-running journal we have firmly established ourselves as the longest running and most stable literary journal in the Twin Cities area.

The vision of the journal has always been to create a community through words, a hodgepodge of beliefs and emotions from all facets of society. This community is both national and international, connected by our secret mission: to bring literature down to our level and then hide in the dumpster with it. It is not stuffy or highbrow, but a kind of sandwich of cultures and emotions: poetry, fiction, artwork, essays, a little extra mayo and some fresh tomato pressed hard between the two covers of one magazine. It is a little messy sometimes, but so is life. We want everyone to know they are welcome to stop by, say hello, have a sandwich, shoot the breeze, whistle.

Spout Press - Please note that we are changing our reading period. Moving forward we will only accept submissions from September 1st through May 1st of each calendar year. It is hoped that this modified reading period will quicken our response time on submissions, as well as aid in the production of Spout.
