Picture
I have always understood the struggles of the writing life—the driving artist, aspiring toward publication. To get your work out there, really looked at, truly  noticed, takes so much heart, effort, patience, and resilience. I decided years ago that I wanted to create a space for people who understand the struggle, a venue to give those  writers and artists a truly fair shot at publication and the chance to be seen, read, and recognized—no connections, no solicitations, and only blind reading. Here, the quality of work is all that matters, not your demographics, who you know, where you come from, or what you've already accomplished. A fair chance and an open hand for everyone—the established, the in-betweeners, and the underdogs.​
And, in 2010, Palooka was born.
