Storytelling is meant to transport us, to take us places we've never seen before. But what about the tales of those who have already taken the leap? </p>
<p>From sci-fi to literary fiction to fantasy and comedy, we wanna hear the stories of those who feel in the right place, at the wrong time; those who feel like they don't belong; and those that, maybe, were never intended to. </p>
<p>Because feeling alienated is as big a human experience as travelling and discovering new worlds. And one can be a foreign in as many tragic as marvelous ways.

Issue 1 - Folklore cover - Glyph UK literary magazine

Glyph. Magazine Issue 1: The Folklore Issue available now!

 

Please welcome Glyph. Magazine’s Issue I: The Folklore Issue.

When we launched our pilot edition of Glyph., we were overwhelmed by how many of you were out there, wanting to share and pass down your stories to others. Folklore therefore seemed like a perfectly fitting way to invite others into our little writing community. We wanted to bring writers together across borders and languages and culture, to pick up their pens and share the tales that have followed them from shadowed corners of the globe, or the brand new myths they’ve created themselves.

Glyph. A literary magazine - Glyph magazine Volume 0

Glyph. Magazine Issue 0: The Pilot Edition available now!

 

Issue 0: The Pilot Edition features short fiction written by the GLYPH. team. In some ways, the stories in this issue carry through them a feeling of isolation that was felt by the editors at the time they all met. Whether that’s feeling alone in a room full of people, like Kirsten in When Will You Take Notice? or just trying to survive (or not survive) in the remote seaside towns in The Selkie’s Child and Banshee.

Despite the isolation, there’s also the feeling of coming together. From a marriage falling apart in Irresponsible Adults to one that’s just beginning in The Proposal, these stories seem to find and bring forward the comfort and unity felt in being completely alone, together. We hope you, the reader, can feel this too. Whether these stories bring you a sense of belonging, dread, make you laugh or make you cry, we hope you find something of value in them.

The Foreign Edition (foreword)

Why Fantasy Lit has such a chokehold over me

For me, fantasy lit is about immersing myself in stories that bring me joy freely unashamedly, just as I did as a kid.

From Glyph, With Love

Writing often feels like a solitary task. But, as it turns out, it doesn’t have to be. In fact, it’s always better when it isn’t.
