Small Press Alert: Staple Gun Quarterly
A new journal promises one issue per season and a binding method that voids several warranties.
PRESS FOR REASSURANCE
Too late. You are already reading Broken Zine.
STAPLE GUN QUARTERLY is a new literary magazine dedicated to writing that “cannot be safely held together by ordinary office supplies.”
The editors seek flash fiction, poems, visual work, manifestos, diagrams, and one-page arguments with appliances.
Every print issue is reportedly assembled by hand using a construction staple gun and “appropriate fear.”
Payment is one contributor copy, two bandages, and the knowledge that your work has physically injured an editor.
Submissions close when the garage gets too cold.
We admire the commitment.
We question the tetanus protocol.

Push something. The magazine is poorly supervised.
