Sarah Dodson and Mike Zapata, the editors of MAKE Magazine, a Chicago literary magazine, have released issue 6, The Experiment. Named for Nelson Algren's Chicago: City on the Make, MAKE is distributed nationally with a readership as varied as its contributors, like John McNally, Marvin Bell, Aaron Michael Morales, Alex Kotlowitz, Carolyn M. Rodgers and more. Emerging writers are published with established writers around a loose theme. It's always good, always surprising, with a blend of black and white artwork, photography, fiction, interviews, nonfiction and poetry. Like most independent literary endeavors, MAKE operates on a shoestring budget. If you like what you see, please support them.
Events will be posted soon on their newfangled website, which will include a revamped submission policy.  

"Features [in Issue 6] include an experimental play by Tennessee Williams with commentary from Annette Saddik; an interview with genre-bending author Gabriel Gudding, conducted by Joyelle McSweeney; new fiction from emerging Chicago author Lindsay Hunter; Marvin Bell's notes on colleague Kurt Vonnegut; an exceptional collection of poetry edited by Joel Craig; and much, much more..."
