Untelling

“Untelling” is a regional colloquialism used when storytelling or speculating, such as “It’s untelling what will happen.” It is a point of not knowing. We want to publish work that takes us to that point of not knowing, and then connects us, teaches us, and makes us see and understand the world in new ways.

While our priority will be to writers and subjects connected to Appalachia, we are not limited to those. Above all, we are looking to publish writing and art that engages us through originality, depth, and craft.
