As part of a panel on [publishing across genres and form for the CT Lit Talk](http://connecticutliteraryfestival.org/lit-talks/), I compiled my Hybrid Lit List into a takeaway to kick off your publishing journey. I post it here as an offering with warm wishes for your creative growth. These literary magazines are especially interested in experimental writing that touches upon some of the following practices: hybrid, visual poetry, poetry objects, sound art, video, design, cinepoetry, text+image, graphic narrative, comics, cross-genre, audio, collage, fragments, ephemera, maps, hypertext, interactive, video games, dance, multimedia writing. **Disclaimer:** As with anything online, please make sure to do your research on the journal before submitting.
