About Us

Bartleby-Snopes is an online literary magazine with several goals in mind. We want to publish the best new fiction we can find. We want to give the many writers that are out there an opportunity to publish their best work. We want to inspire you to create great works of fiction.

Bartleby-Snopes takes its name from two wonderful characters in American Literature. Although we encourage new fiction, our inspiration and love for short stories comes from Herman Melville's Bartleby, the Scrivener and William Faulkner's Barn Burning. If you haven't read these magnificent works, please do so when you take a break from your own writing.

Bartleby-Snopes is edited and maintained by Nathaniel Tower, a writer of fiction and teacher of English.
