Welcome to The Cool Kids’ Lit Club

Thanks for being part of Quibble’s inner circle—here’s a first look at everything happening behind the scenes (and yes…you’re hearing some of this before anyone else).

• PASTEL (Volume VI) — Live Now

Our newest issue, Pastel, is officially available and open to the public! Submissions are still open until January 31, and accepted pieces will drop in-hand and online February 21.

• Introducing: The Ps & Qs Audio Poem Awards

We just announced a brand-new national award series dedicated to audio-first poetry—featuring a stellar lineup of guest editors from across today’s indie literary scene.

Yes, this is us quietly (or loudly!) aiming for the Grammys of indie lit.
Submissions open Dec 1 – March 1.

• The Pros of Prose — Workshops Coming February ’26

We’re piloting a new slate of professional craft workshops designed to grow your voice, expand your editorial eye, and sharpen the tools you’ll use to push your writing into future submissions and publications. More details (and early-bird access!) coming very soon.

• We’re Growing the Team

Quibble is expanding, and we’re actively recruiting editors, development volunteers, and community-builder roles for 2026. Think you might want to be involved? We’ll have an internal interest form soon—or just drop us a line.

• Reading Party — January 11 (Members Only!)

Clear your calendar: we’re hosting a live Reading Party on January 11 exclusively for Quibble Members (yes, just us!). Bring a poem to share, or just come hang out and listen.

Thank you

You’re literally helping build this community brick-by-brick. We’re growing something big here together—and Members get the inside track every step of the way

More soon. Stay cozy. Stay creative.
