Feign is an online literary magazine for fiction and operates out of Reno, Nevada.
Inspired by the city’s gambling roots, Feign seeks fiction that takes risks. Much like playing blackjack or roulette, fiction can entertain, surprise, and devastate us. We want stories that are inventive, stories that arrive with their cards face down. Imaginative stories, ones that hurt like nearly drawing that royal flush. Words float smoke-like over the page, images flashing throughout bright as neon, perhaps even leaving that distinctive fluorescent hum. Stories that make us go all in, leaving us either gutted by a lost chance or soaring with luck. They may bluff to throw us off, but ultimately through the pretense, we see the joker’s heart.
Feign is the best bet on literary fiction.
Feign accepts fiction only.
