Buzzard Picnic is, quite simply, a labor of love. It exists to celebrate all that is literary, featuring short fiction, poetry, essays, interviews and reviews of some of the best
writing around. We at BP are dedicated to advancing the literary arts in this increasingly digital age. We read, we write, we dwell in the space that language creates. We invite you to do the same.

Abby Holcomb, Founder and Editor-In-Chief, is a lover of both books and picnics. A California-native, she moved to New York to study philosophy and literary theory at NYU's Draper Interdisciplinary Master's Program. Abby got her start in publishing by
editing wholesome romances and wild wild westerns. Buzzard Picnic is her redemption.

Lauren Avirom, Contributing Editor and author of the column “Bibliophilia,” worked in publishing for a few years, then chucked it all to focus on the antiquarian book market.
