Baring the Device: Pacific Northwest Literary Resources

The Gravity of the Thing is proud to support experimental writers from many different cultures and geographies, just as we are proud to be a part of our local writing community in the Pacific Northwest. For our readers and contributors living in or near Oregon, our editors have put together a quick list of literary resources. For a more robust resource tailored specifically to Portland writers, visit Literary Portland, which is curated by friends at Old Pal Magazine. If you are seeking publication venues based outside of the Pacific Northwest, we recommend you visit our Baring the Device: Submissions edition, which includes links to national literary databases.
