"Folly journal doesn’t have any problem with the idea of ruffling a few feathers. It all adds up to a magazine of contradictions that wants to do things differently."

Stack Magazines, UK
"Folly magazine bursts onto the scene with a vibrant and unapologetic energy. Aimed at those perhaps tired of the more traditional literary establishment, Folly carves out its own unique space."
