Mission Statement
Variety Pack is a literary Journal based out of the Buffalo, NY. We aim to showcase a variety pack of voices from around the globe. When you step inside our journal, be prepared for a diverse melting pot of emerging writers with established. Sci-Fi? Horror? Magic Realism? Fabulism? Literary Fiction? Prose and poetry bridging the personal and political? Formal Poetry? Free-verse? Criticisms? Memoirs? Down-right weird? Somewhat normal (whatever that is supposed to be in this day and age)? This is a journal for all kinds of readers to enjoy.
We now publish bi-annually, with a paying market, and with a masthead of editors across the globe. Some who’ve had their work here, have also gone on to feature in other high-profile venues, from the Slowdown Podcast to the Best Microfiction Anthology. Since 2019 we have prided ourselves in being a space for every genre under the sun. So go ahead, peruse and sift through the embers of this Variety Pack, we have our own aesthetic, but it surely isn’t one small town, it’s a broad atlas.
