Exposed Bone Literary Magazine

The cover of Exposed Bone Vol. III. I’m honestly not sure what I’m seeing, it almost looks like a tree, but it’s got these eye-like holes throughout. I don’t know, but it’s cool!

After a long time of waiting and thanks to the great dedication of the editors, my short story “Dysmorphia” about a trans girl who wishes to become an ant is seeing publication on Vol 3 of EB Magazine 🖤
You may catch a copy with 37 contributions from authors new and established (Link in bio) 🤍

@exposedbonemag.bsky.social have been a true wonder to work with, especially with a piece so delicate in its importance to me and those that will get it. If you like writing or reading weird shit, theirs is a house of wonders with caffeine guaranteed!

The ever-expanding wormhole has received our copies of Vol. III, once they reach us we’ll send them right on out to you all! Hopefully not covered in slime this time…

This is the FINAL NOTICE for Vol. III’s preorder!

It is the last day for a discount on Exposed Bone’s next release, so don’t hesitate or we may loose a swarm of bats to block out the sun!

Yknow what’s missing from AWP this year? Exposed Bone.
You can still support our Vol. III preorder this weekend though!

The preorder for Vol. III is nearly six feet under! You have through Saturday to take advantage of this sale!

Preorders are already streaming in…don’t miss your chance to get this sweet discount before March 7!!

So excited to have my story “Your Turn,” about a couple literally unraveling during their darkest days of parenthood, included in this release. Secure your copy now!

Preorders for Vol. III are open with price drops on Vol. I and Vol. II also live! If you order before March 7, there’s also a discount for Vol. III!

We are ordering pretty much ASAP so shipments should be in your grubby fingers by the end of March!

(4/4) Whatever we need to sacrifice at this point to ensure that goal is met, we will.

This edition holds a special place in our hearts. Thank you for supporting Exposed Bone.

With all our best wishes (and our usual amount of caffeine),
Shauri & Scum

(3/4) We have a proof back from our designers, and we're working on the fine details of each piece now. We anticipate having the pre-sale up as soon as we've verified the page count. Exposed Bone Vol. III will be in your hands no later than the end of March.

(2/4) However, that does not excuse our poor communication.

We're deeply sorry for the delay and our lack of communication, so we've chosen to release the online version of EB Vol. III so that these works are out in the world with no further delay.

(1/4) This edition has taken significantly longer to produce than either of us ever intended. The past year has been a whirlwind of personal setbacks, and we didn't want to sacrifice the quality of the edition because of our circumstances. These pieces deserve our utmost care.

All copy edit emails left are going out today, which means issue preorder is coming soon!!

Hell yes

Fiction writers: want to make your work pop, have more thought, and leave a greater impact? Write poetry.

Rest assured, no ai has been used (or ever will be used) in editing work we publish

Proofs will begin going out tomorrow for Vol. III contributors!

Guess who finished editing before @shauricherie.bsky.social for once? It’s Scum! Now clap.

Of course it’s indigenous peoples’ day…what else would you celebrate

Don't listen to the voices saying to play it safe. Write, read, and pub works a fascist would want to ban and wear their attempts as a badge of honor.

Every day Shauri and Scum switch off promoting themselves in an endless power grab that will overall go nowhere

Despite Scum being sucked into a wormhole and Shauri moving (both equally stressful) we are still working on copy editing Vol. III, so don’t worry! We aren’t defunct—just busy busy!

This social media thing is hard when you’re chained by the ankle to a runaway buffalo

This issue is so fire it set my apartment complex ablaze 🔥 (jokes aside, my place is totally fine, don’t worry)!

Reminder to refresh your browser before you start writing comments on pieces so they don’t deLETE AND DISAPPEAR

The preorder process for Vol. III will look like Vol. I where you’ll just order a copy through our website; no third party website headaches!

We really are excited for Vol. III…there’s some amazing work like nothing EB has shared before!

Yeah it took us a lot longer to get responses sent out than previously mentioned…PLEASE let us know if you still have not received a response; we’re still new to submittable!
