We want to make sure Untelling is a supplement to the current selection of regional literary journals and not a duplication. And we’ve decided on the title Untelling Literary and Arts Magazine because of the nuances of the word itself. Untelling is a regional colloquialism used when storytelling or speculating, such as “It’s untelling what he was thinking” or “It’s untelling how many people will be there.” It is a point of not knowing. Also, there is the symbolism that through uplifting Appalachian voices, we are un-telling the story that’s been told about the region. We also like the idea of wonder regarding what’s in the new issue. Since we will strive to publish a wide variety of writers and work and art, it’s untelling what will be in there. Untelling will be a print publication much like a standard literary journal in that it will be full of poems, stories, and essays, but we will also feature full color art and photography throughout. There will be two issues a year, released in summer and winter, and while we won’t limit the magazine to writers and pieces from Appalachia, the region will be our main heart.
