About Us

The Cuckleburr Times is an online magazine created by writers for writers. Our goal is to seek out and publish articles by those wonderful but relatively unknown writers, poets and authors online that deserve more visibility. We produce a magazine with high quality, informative articles that writers no matter their niche, experience level or genre will find both useful and entertaining. We’re also glad to do book reviews and share book excerpts.

There are many great writers and experts on writing out there who have created some excellent pieces that are undeservedly under the radar. We find as many of them as we can for our readers and give the authors a chance to showcase their work.

Every author and guest article is handpicked by us. You’ll find no fluff pieces nor thinly disguised ads here. We don’t accept every submission because of our strict quality standards. We expect our article contributors to take just as much pride in their work as we do in our magazine.

Does it sound like you fit the bill? Then we’d love to publish your work here at The Cuckleburr Times.  Submission is simple, just check out the Submit Your Work tab for more information on how to do so. Our call for submissions never closes. And it’s free!

Looking for a book reviewer? You can contact me about getting a book review done too.

Thanks for your interest in The Cuckleburr Times. :) Please do get in touch with any questions or feedback. Mike and I are always delighted to hear from our visitors!

Have a wonderful day!

Co- Owner/ Editor, The Cuckleburr Times.
