Moss Puppy Magazine is an independent literary and visual arts magazine founded in July 2021 by Melissa Martini. We publish biannual themed issues in the Spring and Autumn.

Our goal as a literary magazine is to feature and share literature and artwork that defies norms, challenges conventions, and embraces the unsettlingly beautiful and oddly innovative.

We are committed to supporting emerging writers and artists by providing a nurturing space that fosters creativity, community, and amplifies diverse and marginalized voices.

Submissions are now open for Issue 9: Echoed Howls.

This theme is about longing, connection, isolation, and the unknown. We’re thinking about the way a single sound - one howl - can fill a space, or vanish into the night.
What does it mean to speak into the void? To call for someone who may not be there? To hear only yourself echoed back?
We’re accepting poetry, prose, and artwork that speaks to these themes, broadly or literally, abstractly or through narrative.
