About Me

I'm a zine for the awkwardly inclined. Powered by the readers/writers/artists/shy/sick. Contribution to the online awkWORD and soon to be printed version is highly encouraged! We want your stories, photos, videos and views - anything pertaining to the phenomenon of awkwardness. Post stories on our blog comments, or send them to our inbox and we will post them on the blog. You can also send stories, videos, photos or links to [email protected]. Enjoy the awkWORD.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The uncool cool, the surgically inclined, the quiet, the funny, the grim, the intellectuals, the people (no androids) who want to distribute awkWORD to their local book stores by slipping a couple copies into the magazine section.
