SWITCH
A Magazine of Micro Fiction
Switch, def.: An act of adopting one way of life in place of another; a change, especially a radical one; a slender, flexible shoot cut from a tree; a junction of two railroad tracks, with tapering rails that allow a train to pass from one line to another.
Switch is an online magazine of micro fiction devoted to stories
that leave the beaten path, carry us forward, transform.
We are now closed for submission, but will reopen in the spring. We look forward to reading your work!
