Inaugural Post

Welcome Early Adopters,

Loquacious Placemat is gearing up to come in to the world! Our inaugural issue will be available exclusively online as a .pdf file. Future issues will be available in print as free two-sided placemat at various eateries in Eastern PA. We are going to have a fairly broad regional footprint; showing up in coffeehouses, diners and bistros from Stroudsburg to New Hope with loads of support in our native Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton area.

So what is Loquacious Placemat? It's a free double-sided black and white broadsheet style literary magazine featuring flash fiction and poetry ideally suited for a quick read over lunch, coffee or cocktails.

We are open for Submissions in the following catergories:

Flash Fiction (up to 1000 words)
Manifestos (up to 1000 words)

Since we are a freely and publicly distributed publication, we will have to decline pieces with excessive profanity, graphic violence or sexual content. This may change in the future as we explore interest in a possible black-bordered edition for more exclusively adult venues; but, for now, keep it clean!

Looking forward to hearing from you.

-Loquacious Placemat Editorial Staff
