Thanks to the publication’s success, Matilda’s main charge takes the form of sifting through the hundreds of submissions for each of the magazine’s quarterly issues. With its humble origins something we can identify with at Porridge ( Popshot was essentially started by “a guy in his bedroom” ), ‘the illustrated magazine of new writing’ was bought by the Chelsea Magazine Company a couple of years ago and is now in the capable editorial hands of Matilda Battersby. One publication which has had its place firmly on the Porridge -radar for quite some time is Popshot, a well-respected literary magazine established in 2008 which publishes short stories, flash fiction and poetry alongside gorgeous and often provocative illustrations by (what will soon be) the up-and-coming generation of writers and illustrators. Whether it’s something as simple as an encouraging retweet of someone’s call for submissions, teaming up on a competition or offer, or putting the world to rights together during one of our biannual print launch events, there is certainly plenty of truth to be found in the old adage about being stronger together.
