Peach Mag

Peach is an independent and volunteer-run literary publishing project.

 

Our flagship publication is our online journal (Peach Mag), where from 2016 to 2023 we published a new literary or visual art feature every Tuesday and Friday, often accompanied by contributor-created videos (Peach Bites). Our other productions include two blog-based interview series with contributors and friends of Peach (Favorite Books + Indie Lit), two print series (Peach Mixes + Yearbooks), and live and virtual events (Episodes + Crossover Episodes). Our retired projects include an annual apprenticeship for emerging teen editors (Seeds), annual poetry prizes with guest judges (Peach Gold, Silver, and Bronze), and a column of reading recommendations in Buffalo-based altweekly The Public (Peach Picks).

The work we've published has appeared on Entropy's "Favorite Poems Published Online" list and been a finalist for the Pushcart Prize. Every year, we nominate our contributors for the Pushcart Prize, Best of the Net, and other awards and anthologies. Our publications, programming, and editorial initiatives have earned us recognition on Entropy's Best of: Literary Journals list for 2018 and 2019, Nostrovia! Press' 2017 list of publishers that "won't waste your time," and profiles in both regional and national outlets.

Founded by three friends in Buffalo during the summer of 2016. Seven years later, we announced we were taking a vacation. We will be back.
