A literary magazine which likes to explore. No longer open for submissions, but still available to read! Tweets by @slender_means and @TheBethBarnett.

I have finally updated my fancy illustration portfolio. See here work I did for @FirstStory @gollancz @FarOffPlaces

A perfect chance to remind folk of @JessJohannesson's weird and wonderful short story 'The Readers', in our third issue, Under the Bed.

Feeling both proud and melancholy.

[Far Off Places @FarOffPlaces]

So thrilled to hear this!

[Ricky Monahan Brown @ricky_ballboy]

Passed the setting of the opening scene of my first ever published short story this evening. Still kinda love those lines like a first chord. Thanks, ⁦@FarOffPlaces⁩!

@ricky_ballboy You're more than welcome!

We’re starting a new @openbookreading group at the Jennie Lee Library in Lochgelly with @slender_means at the helm. Dear @FifeCouncil @StAnzaPoetry @onfifelibraries @ONFifePress please help spread the word ....

Less than 72 hours left to get your entries in for the Open House Poetry Competition.

You probably stand a better chance of winning than Theresa May currently does in the UK parliament.

G'wan and good luck!

This is lovely, a limited edition handbound copy of the final issue of @FarOffPlaces. I'm so glad to have been published in this wonderful journal - in this issue, in great company, a poem: 'Plant Me' and an illustration 'Rucksack'. Digital copies from https://t.co/R6vivmagop

[Far Off Places @FarOffPlaces]

Lovely @JeanBava has just called being published by us "forever one of my most meaningful literary experiences", and @georgi_gill, you win the bet, @slender_means may finally need some tissues.

(Also, check out @JeanBava's magazine, @outcastlit, it looks fab!)

[Ricky Monahan Brown @ricky_ballboy]

Chuffed to once again own a pink scooter. Attendees of the @FarOffPlaces wake & the #Edinburgh launch of @KnightErrantPub's #QueerQuarrels @Lighthousebks know its fictional cousin. Soon, readers of my book #stroke @sandstonepress can meet its #nonfiction big sibling. #muse

It really has been a week of farewells and new beginnings. The staff of @ByLeavesWeLive championed us from the start and put us on the shelves aside our literary magazine idols. We're going to miss @GillHamnett and @miss_e_prince, who're moving on from the library this week!

[Far Off Places @FarOffPlaces]

Thanks to everyone who came along last night and made our wake such a wonderful event. Contrary to @georgi_gill's predictions, @slender_means didn't cry, and all of our readers were just fab. Thanks too to the marvelous @Lighthousebks for hosting us!

[Far Off Places @FarOffPlaces]

@Grizonne @Lighthousebks Thank you for making the journey, Elizabeth - it was so nice to finally meet you in person! Good luck with the new job, and stay in touch :)

[Elizabeth Gibson (they/them) 🌈 @Grizonne]

Had an amazing night in Edinburgh thanks to the @FarOffPlaces team! I read at the launch of the new issue at @Lighthousebks, to a lovely, engaging audience, and then hung out for hours with some really nice new people. So glad I made the journey here and thanks for having me ✨📚
