Quibble Lit is an indie literature publisher with a mission to make writing mean more.

  •  We’re here to make reading feel immediate, rewarding, and exciting again.

  • Quibble is a collective of artists taking creative risks and curating art that surprises, captivates, and lingers.

What’s Quibble?

We believe that stories, poems, and ideas help people shape culture, and vice versa.

  • We see ourselves as a portal between the two.

  •  Our goal is to wedge a little slice of lit into more people's days.

This is our collected tiny rebellion, in the battle against the crumbling print industry and the decline of recreational reading

What We Publish

We publish prose, poetry, and visual art on a  quarterly schedule - in print first, digital second.

We welcome both emerging and established artists, and we champion voices that provoke discovery.

We love variety, originality, irony, and humor.

Why “Quibble”?

Because to quibble is to bicker, to inquire, or “pull the thread”.

We believe curiosity is a compass, and love asking “why"?

Quibble is built around this spirit of intrigue. Even the smallest queries can lead to something profound.

Our Vision

We’ll host local and online gatherings — artist readings, launch events, and small writing workshops — to connect writers and readers beyond the page.

Community First

We plan to launch giveaway mini-campaigns and community partnerships that celebrate our contributors while bringing new readers into the fold.

Shared Growth

We aim to launch a crowdfunded initiative in 2026 to start paying artists fairly. To support this, we’re developing new offerings, like editorial feedback, indie press advertising, and writing workshops.
