JAKE

The Anti-Literary Magazine selling books and merch at Submissions closed.

[JAKE @publishedbyJAKE]

Hey all, Ben here. After much deliberation, and many missed deadlines, we've decided to end submissions to JAKE indefinitely on Feb. 15th (two weeks from today). All open submissions will receive a response, and all announced/scheduled work will release, but we're winding down.

Been quiet here lately since we're not publishing new work on the site anymore, but Fuck AI, and Fuck anyone who uses it to avoid the hard work of actually making art. LLM's are theft machines, and any "writers" using it are cowards afraid of their own ability to fail.

[Becky Tuch @BeckyLTuch]

Do you think the panic about AI is overblown? Do you think it's just one more emergent technology that will compel humans to make art differently?

Or do you think some panic is warranted? Is AI categorically different than anything we've seen before?

My prose poem "Three Meals, Waterloo, IL, Christmas 2025" has become my 13th acceptance from @publishedbyJAKE. This was the most mediocre Christmas of my life, so you can read about it on 3/28!
