Quibble, an online & print lit mag or prose, poetry, and art,  is excited to accept submissions for Volume III: Simple 

This will be our second dual-format Volume -- check out Volume I: Ripple to get a sense of the publication.

• Submissions that do not follow guidelines will not be considered.
• Contributing authors will receive a complimentary copy of Simple. 
• Selected submissions will be published online at Quibblelit.com and promoted online. Their work will then appear in print in Quibble Quarterly - Volume III: Simple to be published in December.
• By submitting, you're offering consent in agreement for the rights to appear online on our platforms and in print in Quibble Quarterly. You retain all rights to your work. Quibble only wants to share your writing, not own or profit from it. 

Simple:

This Volume's theme is "Simple." 

Our themes aren’t hardline requirements. However, you do score bonus points for more resonant works.
