The home of absurdist, outsider, and experimental writing.
Air in the Paragraph Line is a
print literary journal of absurdist and outsider fiction and
non-fiction, regularly published by Paragraph Line Books. Great
emphasis is placed on not publishing "the usual", and we try hard to
find content that's readable.
AITPL is published once or twice a year, and we try to cram as much value as possible into each issue. We're privately funded, and not affiliated with any school or writing program, which means we're not following the same old stodgy formula as traditional journals. You can buy it from most online booksellers, or stop by the web site to read the e-book versions of back issues for free.

Tales of the Peacetime Army
By John Sheppard
"I had an unimportant job in the food service industry
and an unimportant college career, both lazily going
nowhere. After an Army commercial telling me that I
should want to be all that I could be, the screen went
to snow. Everything was catching up with me.
There wasn't much left to do but join the Army."
Read the latest book by John Sheppard, author of Small Town Punk. Coming March 2008 from Paragraph Line Books.
