Hi, my name is YouWillGetPapercuts

We at YouWillGetPapercuts are recognizing a sad trend. Is our creativity dying a little from our day jobs, or just getting really stifled? We are firm believers that writers, no matter how “successful,” will write through anything, even a nine-to-five.

We created this space for people like us: young and bright folk who are underpaid, overqualified, and bored.

Admit it. You should be making photocopies, listening in on that important conference call, or getting papercuts while mailing packages off to exotic countries. Instead you're doing character sketches for your first novel, writing song lyrics on the back of a receipt, or making a life-size replica of Michael Jackson's head out of chewing gum and white-out.

Whatever it is that you're doing, show us what you've got. Send us what you’re writing, let us see what pictures you’re taking, clue us in to what we should be listening to, and tell us why you hate your boss and how much better of a job you could do.

We will read anything and everything you send us, but we will only publish what we like.
