Writing Against the Grain - Jan 2026 - Issue #1

Writing Against The Grain is a literary magazine devoted to micro fiction, flash, drabbles, and short nonfiction that refuse to behave. We publish raw, offbeat, and defiant writing—stories shaped by friction, silence, rebellion, and truth.
Issue #1 brings together an international lineup of voices including J. Rocky Colavito, Andrea Tillmanns, Hana Xen, Charles R. Bernard, Marius Creed, Christopher Dabrowski, J.S. Apsley, Kai Delmas, Kenneth Walker, Simoné Venter, Hannah Moore, Robert Hanover, Linette Rabsatt and Nwefuru Godstime Chiadikobi.
Edited by Dakria, WATG The Mag is a space for writers who bend the grain—or break it in half.
