Witcraft dedicated to skillful writing that is brief, humorous and engaging. The emphasis is on wit, word play, absurdity and inspired nonsense. Whether your work is designed to raise a smile or a belly laugh, we want pieces that are a refuge from the relentless barrage of negativity, angst, war and climate catastrophe that dominates the web.
Currently this a one-man-show operated by Doug Jacquier of Six Crooked Highways, whose work has been published in Australia, the US, the UK New Zealand and India.
