THE MAGNUS EFFECT

There are many words to be used on the Magnus Effect literary magazine—science fictitious, risky, experimental, controversial, compulsive—but “unhinged” is the most breathtaking. The review searches for poetry, flash fiction, and visual artwork that screws rules, regulations, and schemes of dogma, or catma, or whatever you want to call the conventional, high-nosed, art equations.

 

In aeronautics, the Magnus Effect is a phenomenon of force exerted on a spinning object when thrown through the air. Meanwhile, the path of the spinning object is deflected. We’ve chosen this name to represent our magazine because, often, we find ourselves feeling this way about literature—awed, touchy, confused, and dizzy.

Magnus Effect is a one-bro show. Hannah Myers is an urban fantasy novelist, matcha-drinker, and dungeon master. She once made V.E. Schwab gag because she asked her to sign her sweat-encrusted shoe. When she isn’t glued to writing or reading, she spends her time hiking, setting fires in the kitchen, and completing academic research (for fun).
