About the magazine
Clockhouse is a literary and arts organization based in Vermont, founded in 2013 by a collective of writers and artists seeking to foster a supportive yet rigorous environment for creative work. Its annual publication, Clockhouse, features a mix of fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and dramatic works, with a particular emphasis on voices that challenge conventional narratives. The organization also hosts residencies and workshops, aiming to build a community where experimentation and craft are equally valued. Over the years, Clockhouse has gained recognition for its commitment to emerging and underrepresented writers, often providing a platform for those who might otherwise be overlooked by mainstream presses.
