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 and Proofreader: 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, Jeanne Griggs, poetry reader, Chloe Bennett, poetry reader: Adam Jon Miller, Poetry reader: Sally Brown, Art Editor: Walker Smart, Prose Editor: and Kathryn Haney, Social Media Manager. We also have layout and design editors for our print and web editions: Katie Yacharn, Jonathan Garnes, Caroline Whetstone, and Loreena Garcia.
