ABOUT US
Founded in 2010, The Fiddleback is an independent, online arts & literature magazine. We publish fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, profiles with artists and musicians as well as book and music reviews. Our guiding principle is cross-pollination. We believe in mixing and colliding artistic disciplines and promoting work that asserts itself. We are inclined toward the outlandish, toward the unsayable, toward the spectacle.
