About Spindle
Consider the tension in something so subtle and ordinary that can cut as much as create — like the act of writing, or the precision of words, the cruelty in meaning. Consider how the spindle serves as the axis around which we build; how we use it to hold things together.
SPINDLE is an ever-expanding online journal with one new, featured work every Monday. It is maintained by a group of individuals based in the Philippines – readers, writers and students of literature - who simply want more home-grown venues for the literary and visual arts.
We’re open to different forms, genres, and media. We publish poetry, prose, artwork and essays of all sorts. We accept collaborations, essays on craft, interviews, hypertext, sequential art, works from a series, and whatever you think counts as literature, art, an intersection thereof, or simply a piece that deserves an audience.
Local writers and artists may be our focus, but we welcome submissions from everyone.
