The Forge was one of my favourite literary magazines, even before I started reading for them last year. They pay, they reply quickly and they publish brilliant work. And now that I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know the editors and other readers, I can see how much hard work, attention and love goes into every piece, and many that don’t make it too. So send us your fiction and nonfiction (preferably below 3000 words), we promise we’ll take good care of it.
