Personalized response in less than 24 hours. 

Typishly is a positive and welcoming space for writers, where creativity is respected, cherished and nourished. We strive to inspire, even when responding to short stories and poetry not accepted for publication.  

Typishly's editor Jon has encouraged writers for years as a professional writer and creative director. He replies to submissions in less than 24 hours with a friendly, personalized note briefly pointing out phrases and ideas he likes, because submitters have told him it's good to know someone has read and thought about their work. He does not provide negative feedback, constructive criticism or long detailed notes. Don’t expect advice on how to improve your writing or reasons why your work was not accepted for publication. For more, see our FAQs.
