Libbon is billed as UK`s newest short story magazine. It is published by and edited by David Soulsby. The edition I ordered was the third published and appears to be as a result of a change of direction for the magazine. From the information it would appear the first two editions were formulated as a result of a competition. Now stories of up to 5000 words will be accepted. The competition element has also been abandoned along with entry fees. The magazine will accept work from both new and published authors. Payment is for single issue rights only.
The magazine has a good quality glossy cover. The contents are well laid out on good quality paper with several black and white photographs to break up the type face. At £3 a copy is excellent value for money.
Libbon is a new potential market worth serious consideration for aspiring writers. The entries for this edition numbered 280. The odds of having a piece of work published is greater than some of the more established monthly mags.
