Issue Four of a Genius Mag Arrives: Zine-Scene’s The Reprint
Image by Joe Scarano
I think the Reprint is one of the best ideas in indie lit today. I think it’s brilliant. Take stories, that let’s face it, probably most people haven’t read because not a lot of people are buying print mags nowadays, and reprint them in their own beautifully illustrated online magazine. Voila! Genius.
This, the fourth issue, is as fantastic as the last three and features stuff from top-notch writers like xtx, Brandi Wells, Meg Pokrass, Kirsty Logan, Aubrey Hirsch, Roxane Gay, Adam Moorad, and Travis Hessman; creepy-great artwork that made me think of nothing so much as Ren and Stimpy (also genius, still) by Joe Scarano; a kick-ass intro by Sarah Rose Etter, and interviews with Travis Hessman and Annalemma Editor Christopher Heavener.
I know, right? Get to reading! Seriously, this is one I read cover to cover every time because not only is it a great idea, but editor Richard Mocarski is an amazing curator with really terrific taste in fiction and in writers of fiction. This one should always be on your go-to list for great fiction, on and offline.

Very cool, thanks Amber, I’m sending off something.
Cool! Make sure it’s something you’ve had printed somewhere already. Love to see you in there.
Thanks. Yep, I’ve got a few that were in print over a year ago. Glad to see a place like Reprint exists, and certainly there’s tons of talent on the site so far. I wonder, they say print only but what about online stories that were at sites that are now dead/gone, you think that would apply too?
I think the point is just print–but I guess it wouldn’t hurt to ask. Check out their submission guidelines and see what they say…
Richard,
We don’t do that, just cause there is enough of a need to reprint works from print journals…
Amber, Don’t you guys (Emprise) do that? I thought you had a Meg Porkass piece a couple months back that was rescued?
We do! Richard, if you or anyone you know has pieces from online that need to be rescued, send them our way! We may publish them, though of course we can’t guarantee anything.
Amber,
Thanks for the love!
You’re welcome, Richard. You guys run one of a handful of online magazines that is beautiful to look at and to read, all the way through. It’s truly great.
Thanks Richard, good to know. And TY to you too Amber, I’ll keep that in mind for stories that need to be rescued from dead and gone online sites. You know I love ER.
