Quibble Lit, a literary magazine and collective, positions itself at the intersection of risk and rigor, seeking work that poses difficult questions and rewards sustained attention. For Volume IX, the editors have chosen the theme HUMBLE—not as a constraint but as a provocation. They frame humility as a posture of remaining teachable, of encountering the limits of certainty, and of allowing attention to reshape understanding. The call is for images that engage with revision, naivete, misjudgment, and discovery; work that shifts perspective or defamiliarizes the known. The magazine publishes contemporary writers and artists across print, online, and community programming, indicating a commitment to broad circulation and contextual dialogue. While no prize or exhibition is attached, inclusion in Volume IX places work within a curated editorial framework that values tension and imagination. The absence of a submission fee aligns with Quibble's collective ethos, lowering barriers for artists at various stages. The curatorial vision for HUMBLE is deliberately open: the theme is a creative prompt, not a requirement. Strong work need not fit neatly inside it. This suggests the jury prioritizes artistic integrity and conceptual depth over thematic literalism. Artists are invited to submit work that remains unfinished, that learns and unlearns, and that offers audiences something worth lingering over.
