The Oddville Press
The Oddville Press publishes a high quality literary magazine, exclusively online, featuring the best in new and established writers and visual artists. Our issues include in-depth interviews with a featured writer and visual artist, along with examples of their work, as well as creative and compelling poetry, fiction, and non-fiction from writers around the world. Additional features will be added as warranted and/or necessary.
‘So, why the name ‘The Oddville Press’?’ you ask.
Simply put, the word ‘odd’ is something all writers know very well, the first twinge experienced the first time someone asks us what we do. Yes, writer are odd. We know it. And the looks on the faces of the folks we tell says they know it too. So, why not embrace it?
The ‘ville’ part is the sense of community we writers gravitate toward. Writing is very much a solo act, and though being unique is kind of cool in itself, being lonely is a real killer. So we tend to group up on writing forums, writing work shops and creative writing classes, in real life and in internet life, helping ourselves by helping each other. Hence, the name The Oddville Press.
The goal of The Oddville Press is to promote today’s geniuses and tomorrow’s giants by providing a platform for authors and artists to publish their work and allowing them the recognition they deserve. Published in each issue are works of poetry, fiction, non-fiction and artwork, and interviews from authors and artists around the world.
The magazine will serve as a publishing outlet and showcase for writers and artists, as well as provide quality literature and artwork to its readers at no charge.

Am I missing a link, or do they not have a web site up yet? They sound interesting; I’m off to Google them in case I can hunt them down.

Sorry about that. I’ll fix it. Blame my fuzzy mind on the cold I have.
