Welcome to the Knee-Jerk Blog, home for the thoughts of Knee-Jerk Magazine editors, C. James Bye, Jonathan Fullmer, and Stephen Tartaglione, where we’ll be discussing all sorts of literary fun including our thoughts on the latest happenings in the arts, from music to films to the visual arts and, of course, first and foremost, the literary world. We’ll also be chatting about, well, pretty much whatever. Check out the latest issue of Knee-Jerk Magazine at kneejerkmag.com. Check back frequently. Please..? We would for you.

Think of Knee-Jerk as a dinner table filled with friends and family. We’re all sharing ideas, stories, laughter, and a whole lot of corndogs. The table is round, everyone is facing each other; everyone is enjoying the company. Next to the published writer is an emerging writer, a person who’s searching for a home for his or her first story. Sitting across from them is a musician who finds time to squeak out a story between studio sessions. Also at the table, the casual reader of literature. And the guy who’s read Infinite Jest twice.
We invite you to pull up a chair and contribute to the ongoing dialogue. Like any good discussion, we’ll venture beyond that knee-jerk reaction into what [important name] called [quote about venturing beyond knee-jerk reactions].
At Knee-Jerk we hope to evoke conversations that bring everyone a little closer together, that make the literary world a little smaller. And a little bigger.
