Blip Magazine is posted quarterly. Information about themes of upcoming issues will always be listed on the Forthcoming page. If no upcoming issues are listed there, then the magazine is not reading new work at the moment. Submissions should be sent as attachments in Microsoft Word or RTF format. All rights (except Blip reprint rights) revert to individual authors upon publication.
How we got here
Blip Magazine began life as Mississippi Review Online, a personal Web site that the editor (who was then also editor of Mississippi Review, the print magazine) put online in 1995. On departing his editorship of MR, the editor invited those folks who worked on the online version of MR to join him in this new venture.
Blip (as Mississippireview.com) was among the first and most popular literary magazines on the Web. As of 2010, the magazine had more than fifteen hundred stories and poems in its archive, work by such writers as Thom Jones, Ben Marcus, Francine Prose, Padgett Powell, Barry Hannah, Tom Drury, Elizabeth Gilbert, Rick Bass, Ben Neihart, and from newer writers like Brian Oberkirch, Michael Dermansky, Courtney Eldridge, David Ryan, Laurie O’Brien, Jaime Clarke, Stacey Richter, Susan Hubbard, Larry French. We hope you make the magazine (which we fully intend to rename, perhaps repeatedly) a regular stop in your Web travels. We welcome you and encourage your participation.
In addition, we have added the entire content of Public Scrutiny, an Internet magazine of opinion published from 2002–2006. It is in the sidebar menu at present.
