My literary journal
@JokesReview has officially been around for 10 years!
I've had a blast publishing so many amazing writers, including
@RiekkiRon,
@BradyDale,
@default_friend,
@VraieSterzinger,
@amy_grech,
@ChrisDavidLo,
@MDPurzycki,
@MMcSw13,
@fishclamor,
@LChasek,
@RoccoSweetheart, and many others.
The literary world feels totally stagnant right now while simultaneously being threatened by AI. But somehow my work with Jokes Review still feels as exciting and relevant as ever.
We just published our latest issue on the theme Urban Legends. We're about to publish a book by the great
@VraieSterzinger. This summer we're publishing a 10-year anniversary issue with a release party already scheduled. And we're still doing semi-monthly IRL meetup events in Sacramento.
At this point, if literature does ever die, I'd still keep Jokes around just as a social club, since the IRL events have taken on a life of their own.
But if you want to help keep literature alive and support our work at Jokes Review, pick up a copy of one of our issues or books! Here are some of our best releases from over the years:
