Technically Writing

Technically Writing is a litmag for technical writers.

The logo for Technically Writing; the top word is printed in a serif font, capital case, with ellipsis; the bottom word is printed in a font where each letter resembles a wedge doorstop.

Technically Writing is a litmag dedicated exclusively to technical writers.

This is my attempt at subsidizing tech writers as creative writers. No sprint, no scope, no shareholders. Just write.

Technically Writing is a litmag by technical writers for everybody.

If you’re a technical writer interested in expressing your creative side, you can send your submissions to bibelotages@gmail.com:

Max entries 5 (Word, PDF, or Google Doc). Include your name, country of residence, and a brief bio in the body of the email or as an attachment along with your submission.
Soft deadline April 30, 2025. All rights returned to authors upon publication. Previously published works also considered. Suggested max word count per entry: 1500 words.

I’ll be selling physical copies and a PDF version through this website.

Acceptances receive $100 Canadian. Please preview the zine cover below:

The work-in-progress cover art for volume 1 of Technically Writing magazine. Underneath the title appear a series of satirical author names: "writer penman", "writer pencilman", "author orthographerson", "typer photocopier", "drafty 'del' capslock", and "cetera etal". Special thanks to Sandra Cruikshank and Talonbooks for inspiration, regarding an Instagram post Talon made March 11 showing the cover of the publishers' former magazine which began in 1963.
