What is Halicarnassus?

Halicarnassus is a start-up literary magazine based in the West End of Allentown Pennsylvania. A few months ago I (Bryan Kleiner) approached a friend of mine (Joe Trinkle) with the idea of creating a literary magazine. We both loved the idea because there are an abundance of writers in the Lehigh Valley without a medium to share their work. With Halicarnassus, we want to take those great writers in our area and give them that medium. If you're reading this and you're a writer, you know the frustration of trying to get your work out into the public. At Halicarnassus, we want to find those great writers in our area and the surrounding areas.

We don't want to confuse you with cryptic submission guidelines or obscure coversheet requirements. What we want is good literature. In the next few days and weeks, we will be posting more information about the mag and our submission guidelines. We look forward to reading the work of talented writers.
