JAKE is a United States of America-based literary magazine founded in 2022 .

Fee: NonePay: No		- Fiction: Submit up to 7000 words. Accepts flash pieces. Sub Genres: all, literary, experimental

- Poetry: Submit up to 3 poems at a time. Preferences: JAKE likes Taco Bell scraps, early 2000’s music videos, and sonnets, and he will take submissions of up to three poems totally roughly 10 pages or less. Poetry longer than that scares him, since he doesn’t actually know how to read.*

*One quick note about the poetry: long lines are o.k., since JAKE is working on a way to wrap lines like in a collection. Should be very cool when it's working. But, if your lines are long and require some particular spacing... well... the site is coded in HTML, if you catch JAKE's drift.
