The Web's Premier Online Literary and Fine Art Magazine

The Woven Tale Press, the Web’s premier online literary and fine art magazine, is also a hub for writing and visual arts, bringing together notable artists and writers seeking to share their work more broadly with communities actively in quest of unique voices and compelling perspectives.

LAST OF HER NAME by Mimi Lok

In LAST OF HER NAME, Mimi Lok’s “distinct and unifying idea is merely a literary search for what constitutes belonging, but her findings are significant.”

Shape of Shape at MoMA

Amy Sillman’s selection for her exhibition Shape of Shape, part of MoMA’s Artist’s Choice series, spans time periods, styles, and mediums relating to shape.

Photography Simplified

In the era of Photoshop, John Greiner-Ferris encourages photography simplified: “The underlying image, for me at least, has to be well-composed.”

Landscape Painting and Near Realism

Eileen Murphy creates oil paintings and landscapes that “almost” capture reality, experimenting with perspective.

Architecture and Fine Art

George Casprowitz’s abstract paintings are featured in WTP Vol. VII #9. See “Draft Status,” a selection from the magazine.

Surrounded by Nature

Five years ago, artist Alex Egan and her family moved into the Victorian house where she converted a dining room into a large studio.

A Woven Tale Press Voice & Vision

Our WTP Voice & Visions are collaborations where the literary meets the visual arts. We do our best to pair our writers with our artists who have appeared in The Woven Tale Press magazine, but readings of works may also be paired with alternative visuals compiled by our most talented video producer Heidi Stauff.

Story by Richard Dokey

Dokey is the author of August Heat, (Story Press), and Pale Morning Dun, (University of Missouri Press) which was nominated for the American Book Award. His most recent collection of stories is Fly Fishing the River Styx (Adelaide Books).

Testimonials

“The Woven Tale Press is quickly becoming a mecca for writers and artists and those who understand the essential middle ground between the two.”

— Beth Kephart, author of Tell The Truth. Make it Matter.

“Even more compelling than its gorgeous layout and sumptuous production quality, is the editorial aesthetic of The Woven Tale Press. Brilliant visual and literary art is presented with exquisite sensitivity. These pages are saturated with color and filled with intoxicating stories and poems. The Woven Tale Press offers genuine art: original, provocative, raw.“

— Sari Friedman, author

“I love The Woven Tale Press. It’s a neat little journal curating the best of contemporary art and literature.”

— Claire Meadows, poet and Editor-in-Chief/Founder of After Nyne Magazine

“Discovering The Woven Tale Press was like finding a sparkling gem in the ‘cybershere sandbox.’ It’s presentation of visual and literary arts is a treasure trove of creativity. It is such a wonderful opportunity for those of us looking to join the creative conversation, and to learn from others.”

— Carolyn Land, multi-medium artist

“You know that bad feeling you have when you think of all of the great art and writing that are bypassing your attention, escaping your notice? Now we have The Woven Tale Press, one last Hail Mary Pass to catch, one last chance to get the best of what’s about to be missed, and I’m grateful.”

— Beth Ann Fennelly, Mississippi Poet Laureate

“What strikes me about The Woven Tale Press is the way themes appear in each issue, without ever being named. The editors are clever and subtle with their juxtapositions of written and visual imagery, so that you have no choice but to make new connections between the works.”

— Paula Goldman, photographer
