Welcome to Armchair/Shotgun!

     Armchair/Shotgun is a new journal that publishes emerging and established artists. Twice per calendar year we publish, in print, a collection of engaging and provocative writing unhampered by strict theme or literary attitude. We hope that the styles, forms, and genres of our pages will be eclectic, but of a common spirit: direct and earnest.

     In addition to a print journal, Armchair/Shotgun runs various workshops, events, and readings throughout the year. We also publish work online, usually with flash prompts or contests, as a supplement to the print journal. We, as writers, share the necessary optimism of putting pen to paper. We want to cultivate that in a wider community.

     If you would like to know more about what we're doing, if you have some interesting ideas about the magazine and want to share them, or if you just want to grab a beer and talk typewriters, don't hesitate to contact us.
