PASTEL

Quibble Lit is proud to launch a new annual Award series designed to uplift contemporary poetry that leaps off the page.

The Ps&Qs Audio Poem Awards recognizes exceptional poems that thrive through breath, cadence, presence, and performance—work that embodies the irreplaceable intimacy of the spoken word.

Quibble Lit is an indie literary publisher, pairing creative writing with visual art. We publish prose, poetry, and hybrid work on a quarterly schedule, with a print-first, digital-second model.

  • Since Issue 3 (our SquareSpace era), Quibble Lit has published 395 selections:

    •  180 prose pieces 

    • 215 poems.

  • Submissions are free when open. If published, selected contributors will receive a physical Contributor’s Copy of the print issue.
