Our Writer's Pages!

We have helped beginning writers succeed through contests and publication since 1990. Writers are encouraged to seek our assistance anytime and we'll do what we can. We also specialize in printing softcover (perfect bound) books, chapbooks, pre-press and scanning -- at reasonable, competitive prices.

Tickled by Thunder also sponsors NINE writing contests a year! Web contests are discontinued. Subscribers never pay entry fees, and may email all manuscripts and/or entries -- with this savings in stamps easily paying for the subscription! We hope you'll want to subscribe!

Tickled by Thunder fiction magazine was once nominated by Writer’s Digest for its ‘Fiction Fifty’ - a list of best places for authors to submit fiction.


THIS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO:
Scroll down for contest deadlines . . .

March 22, 2008 / 10:40 p.m.

We finished proofing and sent it to the printers. Now we're addressing envelopes, attached stamps and waiting to get the copies from the printer! We're very close now.

March 10, 2008 / 7:20 p.m.

We are two pages away from finishing the next issue! I may get it finished tonight, but if not, then by Monday for sure. Then it's just a matter of printing it and mailing it out!

February 9, 2008 / 4:00 p.m.

I've updated my list of subscribers and authors who have not received all their issues/copies -- because they've moved and not let us know about it! If you're on the list, please update us! Just click on the feedback page -- the list is there!

February 4, 2008 / 1:30 p.m.

It's been a long long LONG time since our last issue. We're working on the next one, with contest results, fiction, poetry and more. If we don't complete the issue by the end of the month, we will stop publishing Tickled by Thunder and make arrangements for returning subscriber fees.

We have always sold subscriptions by the issue, but for some reason we also refer to four issues a year. We've always tried to meet that schedule but rarely succeed. We'll be changing this reference from four issues a year to two issues a year. I believe we can handle this....

We're probaby not going to do the Year's Best anymore, but I haven't made up my mind. I'm still not publishing author's chapbooks for the foreseeable future.

Anyway, all this is moot since what is required first is that we meet the February deadline. And it's a short month...


We have published a chapbook on writing the short story, by Quinn Tyler Jackson.
