Capsule Stories Editions - A Print Literary Magazine Capsule Stories publishes one edition of our print literary magazine once each season. Browse our current and previous Capsule Stories editions here.

There’s so much noise out there, bombarding us constantly with an endless stream of information and it becomes harder and harder to hear ourselves think. This is a quiet place for you to sit, read, remember, and reflect.

Thank you to Capsule Stories and @carolinavonkampen.bsky.social for not only publishing some of my favorite pieces in three of their beautiful editions, but also for having me as a reader and editor, and for being an inspiration when I was developing @littlethoughts.bsky.social.

Thank you! 🤍

Thank you to everyone who has submitted over the years, the wonderful writers we’ve published, and the amazing team of readers who have made Capsule Stories so amazing! We hope to be back someday to bring you more beautiful writing. For now, we'll be in hibernation. 😴

Unfortunately, Capsule Stories will be on hiatus for the foreseeable future, and we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the Lost in Translation edition.
