the Thieving Magpie started in 2017 as a digital literary magazine dedicated to procuring and publishing good art: fiction, poetry, essays, art, photography. We seek writers and artists who take their art and mischief seriously. New and emerging voices and visions will share these pages with experienced writers and artists who believe in their craft. We don’t seek perfection, just dedication to the process, craft and truth in art.
Our Mission Statement: Since 2017, the mission of the Thieving Magpie has been to provide a platform that nurtures and brings together a community of creative individuals and to advance the literary and visual arts by publishing an accessible digital (and hopefully print) quarterly loaded with fiction, poetry, essays, art and photography by writers and artists worldwide – whether established, emerging or underrepresented; by publishing these works in all formats on all available platforms; and by inspiring public creativity, participation and appreciation of the arts. By nature, magpies find gems in unusual and unexpected places. We seek out literary mischief and store our findings in our nest of mayhem to inspire our community.
the Thieving Magpie is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Donations help us maintain our humble site and curate the incredible work that fills our pages, as well as cover our general operating costs, which are constantly rising.
