This bird has been burdened with removing computer viruses off a family member's computer, but still longs for the weird you may submit. Submit to us your strange work and give us some respite from Computer Hell?

A birdy reminder that we want your submissions for our current theme 'strange'! We want you at maximum bird. What does that mean? That's up to your interpretation. Full steam ahead, all aboard the freak train! grackle.review/submissions/

Raging against the machine ( bird feed dispenser ). We are shining today!

The tinier the bird, the more highly concentrated the inner rage.

Since an AI based account just followed us, I want to make it very clear: AI writing and art isn't welcome here!

We're back in action! Thank you for your patience.

New rules for submissions will be updated as soon as this php business is sorted! If you're thinking of submitting, try to keep it at 3,500 words or less for fiction pieces. We want to make as much room as possible for all our submitters and also be mindful of the time it takes our editors to read.

Due to the php exploit, we will be unable to log into the email to look over submissions until all this gets fixed. Please be patient with us.

For the amount the EIC typos 'all the nest' signing off on emails, they may as well just start doing it to be quirky and a little funny.

New logo is live! If you think it looks sad, it's because *I'M* sad and can barely use Illustrator, but at least we own it, ya know?

I am fueled by spite and birdseed.

Want to know a little more about us? Look no further! Grackle Review is here to stay, much like the 'nuisance' birds we know and love. Caw, caw! Submit your work if you like our birdy vibes 🎉Link to submit is in our bio.

We're still looking for the cover of our inaugural issue, themed "Strange "! You think it's weird enough? Make it weirder! We really want to see you at your strangest ❤️

Tell the EIC to get better at Illustrator immediately so we can have a legitimate logo 👏 No, but really folks, why is Illustrator so hard?

This is a friendly reminder that we're open for work until December 31st! Get your weird on and submit something truly strange to us: grackle.review/submissions/

DEAR FREAKS our theme for this issue is "strange" and nobody has sent us anything that is really weird yet. bring it, bitches.

I saw a beautiful Great Blue Heron this morning. Its feathers were so dark they nearly appeared black instead of blue! I've never seen a Great Blue look like that - it was beautiful!

There's bugs in our submission form! Please excuse me while I change the entire way that people submit so poor submitters aren't lost to the Google Form Void.

Howdy birdy friends! We're still looking for an Art Editor to join our small but mighty team. This is a volunteer position. If you've ever wanted to apply to volunteer at a literary journal, now's your time to shine. We promise we are friendly and appropriately birdy!

Getting all the bugs out of the system so that submitters may submit and birds may be fed. If you notice something that looks off on our website or socials, please feel free to let us know. This is a tiny team of bird lovers, and sometimes things fall through the cracks!
