Speak, write, rise up.
We’ve been publishing fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, visual art, and interviews online at HypertextMag.com and in print at Hypertext Review since 2010 and, in 2017, we became a nonprofit with an expanded mission to teach Chicago-area adults to tell and write their stories.
Since 2017, we have partnered with Above & Beyond Family Recovery Center, Cabrini Green Legal Aid, St. Leonard’s Ministries, and Breakthrough Urban Ministries to teach over 300 Chicago-area adults to listen to their voice, trust what they have to say, and write their truth. The writing skills our nonprofit clients’ learn also prepare them to be ‘workforce ready’ by giving them the tools they need to write persuasive cover letters and professional resumes.
PUBLISHING
Hypertext Magazine online opened its virtual doors in Winter 2009 and, since 2017, has published a biannual print journal, Hypertext Review. As of 2020, we are proud to announce that we now pay writers *a small stipend* for their work. You can find out more at SUBMIT.
At Hypertext, we pride ourselves in publishing emerging and established writers side by side. In other words, we aren’t particularly impressed by padded bios—just exceptional writing. Many of our editors cut their fictional teeth in the Columbia College Chicago Fiction Writing Department, nurtured by dedicated professors and an innovative teaching approach—an approach that celebrates diverse voices and caters to alternative learning styles—developed by the writers and educators John Schultz and Betty Shiflett.
We’ve published writers from all over the world and we’re currently on the hunt for writing that presents our world in new and startling ways. We want to see writers take chances, push forms. In fiction and essays, we’re looking for stories written by and about all ages and types of people, stories that change the way we view the world. We’re looking for carefully crafted writing that amazes and inspires.
