Matchbook Stories
Issue 1
Stories about meetings fleeting and temporary, about moments and places, invoking the feeling of real matchbooks. A few words that can be carried in a pocket and shared with a friend, or perhaps a stranger.
MATCHBOOK STORIES is a literary magazine in matchbox form.
Each issue (a box) collects four different tiny stories (each its own matchbook) in prose or poetry form. Editors Ioanna Mavrou and Lee Jing-Jing kick off the series with two tiny stories each.
Matchbook Stories Issue 1 is handmade and comes in a limited edition of 100.
