Quibble is an independent lit mag dedicated to celebrating the art of inquiry, the thrill of creative risk, and the joy of a well-crafted story. We publish prose, poetry, and original art in print and online, offering a space for voices that challenge, inspire, and linger.
Editorial Masthead
Eric Kerr
Eric is a freelance editor who earned a B.A. in English from the University Toronto. His editing journey began in journalism, and he's since worked in a variety of style guides, genres, and mediums.
These days, he wears many editing hats, including fact-checking and article editing for a sustainable living group, as well as helping writers find their voices and tell their stories.
As an editor, he knows his role is inherently collaborative; he strives to be on the same page as the author, offering constructive and transparent feedback. In his free time, Eric likes to bake, write, and watch movies.
Thomas Simms
Thomas holds a B.S. in Biology from the Templeton Honors College at Eastern University and is pursuing an M.F.A. in Writing at Lindenwood University. He currently teaches 8th and 11th graders in Chandler, Arizona.
Both his teaching and his editing style are fundamentally question based. Through guided inquiries, he strives to push his students and classmates to examine themselves and their own writing in order to discover their latent potential.
Lately, Thomas has become fascinated with Creative Non-Fiction and is enjoying reading Joan Didion and Annie Dillard, but his first love in the literary world is poetry. In his free time, he enjoys practicing mandolin, fishing, writing, and dabbling in mixology.
Jenica Amalita
Jenica loves reading, writing, and talking for hours about the latest C-drama she's watched. Intrigued by narrativity, she looks at how the intersection of language, thought, and meaning with culture produces art. She is currently pursuing a Master's in Political Science at St Joseph’s University, Bangalore. Jenica's poetry has been published in Lit Shark Magazine and Door is a Jar Magazine, amongst others.
Anne Louise Phillips
Anne Louise Phillips is a writer, student, and photographer from the American South. She is primarily fascinated by Southern literature, microfiction, and hybrid forms. Her work has been presented at Mississippi State University and Louisiana State University, and published in Big Muddy and Cicadian Rhythm Zine. When she isn’t writing, reading, or editing photos, she can often be found perusing record stacks or exploring her city.
Zuri McWhorter
Zuri McWhorter is a writer and artist from Detroit, Michigan. Her work explores the lowest and highest points of human existence. She’s published two chapbooks and has been featured in several journals, including Coffin Bell, Blue Nib, In Parenthesis, and Abandon Journal. Zuri is the one-woman team behind Juste Milieu Zine, an arts and literary print publication.
