Quibble is an independent lit mag dedicated to celebrating the art of inquiry, the thrill of creative risk, and the joy of a well-crafted story. We publish prose, poetry, and original art in print and online, offering a space for voices that challenge, inspire, and linger.

What’s Quibble?

What We Publish

We love variety—whether it’s a poem that punches above its weight, a short story that turns convention inside out, or art that makes us stop and stare. Traditional or experimental, minimalist or maximalist, if it captures our attention and refuses to let go, it’s Quibble material.

Why “Quibble”?

To quibble is to dig into the details, to question, to push the conversation a little further—even when it’s messy or trivial. We believe there’s beauty in the bickering and value in the inquiry. Plus, “Quibble” just feels right: playful, punchy, and delightfully hard to pin down.
