Herewith the by-invitation-only, eccentric, erratic, unpaid, self-edited Numéro Cinq magazine.

Submissions: None. Do not submit any creative work. It will neither be read nor responded to. Do not, for that matter, submit any uncreative work.

The copyright to these works, original and posted here by permission of the owners, remains exclusively with the authors. You can link to these pages, but don’t copy or reprint them anywhere or my large sons will hound you.

Let it be duly noted that in just over two years we have managed to published a stellar array of new and known (international, award-winning) writers including, from Canada, Leon Rooke, Mavis Gallant, Diane Schoemperlen, Amanda Jernigan, Bill Gaston, Mark Anthony Jarman, Ann Ireland, David Helwig, John B. Lee, Karen Mulhallen, Stephen Henighan, Genni Gunn, Goran Simic, Dave Margoshes, Keith Maillard, Clark Blaise, Steven Heighton, and Jack Hodgins; from the U.S. William Olsen, Nancy Eimers, Trinie Dalton, Nance Van Winckel, Joe David Bellamy, Jess Row, Anthony Doerr, Joseph McElroy, Brad Watson, Keith Lee Morris, Steven Church, Leslie Ullman, Sydney Lea, David Rivard, Richard Jackson, Dawn Raffel, Donald Breckenridge, Johannah Rodgers, Russell Working, Lynne Tillman, Robert Vivian, Brad Watson, and Dominic Stansberry; plus work in translation by Quim Monzó, Juan José Saer, Anton Chekhov, Mihail Sebastian, Giacomo Leopardi, Viktor Shklovsky, Blanca Castellon, Ingrid Winterbach, Kazushi Hosaka, Habib Tengour, Besik Kharanauli, Rilke, Mathias Énard and many others.

And this is not to forget our intrepid band of NC staffers, contributors and contributing editors, all convicted felons of the literary type, dedicated artists fast making a name for themselves in the brash new digital universe. We’ve published novellas, entire books, plays, poems, translations, fiction, nonfiction, sermons, criticism, memoirs, music, art work, hybrid art, conceptual art, provocative graphics.

The Fine Print

The NC discussions are open to anyone. It's a friendly place, easy to join. Just sign in on the comment box with your email address and write your comment. If you stick around, people will get to know you and you're in (except, of course, for the usual credit and criminal record checks, birth and citizenship authentication, school transcripts starting from kindergarten, photocopies of tax records, ID, credit cards, debit cards, etc.). If you turn up often and seem to get the drift of the magazine, you'll be invited to submit. Please respect the generally high level of camaraderie and amiability already in evidence.

The management wishes to acknowledge the financial support of Douglas "Deep-Pockets" Glover and no one else.
