At Thimble Literary Magazine, we believe armor can be found in the oddest of places, whether that’s facing a hard truth head-on or reframing it so you can better understand it. We believe the stories we tell ourselves to be the most powerful protection for our edges.
We are a quarterly online and print journal. We publish in March, June, September, and December. We seek poetry, visual art, and short prose.
We nominate for the Pushcart Prize and are thrilled Jessica R. Gordon’s poem “After the Fireworks” won in 2025. We are a proud member of CLMP.
Our staff consists of Nadia Arioli, Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor: Agnes Vojta, Associate Poetry Editor: Clara Bush Vadala, Associate Poetry Editor: Richard Jordan, Associate Poetry Editor: Melissa McEver Huckabay, Associate Poetry Editor: Aliah Fabros: Associate Poetry Editor: Mark David Noble, Associate Poetry Editor: Izzy Maxson, Associate Poetry Editor: Adam Jon Miller, Associate Poetry Editor: Jeanne Griggs, poetry reader: Elizabeth Ranieri, Art Editor: and Walker Smart, Prose Editor. We also have a layout and design editor: Katie Yacharn.
Thank you for being here.
