About

The Twin Bill is a quarterly literary baseball journal founded in 2020 at the start of the pandemic. We celebrate the rich history of the game while also recognizing its vibrant present through fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, interviews, and art. We welcome writers of all levels and experiences. For more, you can read our profile in The Writer magazine.

We publish based on the MLB schedule. We publish Opening Day, the All-Star Game, the World Series, and Jackie Robinson’s birthday. We also produce a print edition.

The Twin Bill is a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. You can support The Twin Bill by donating here. Proceeds will be used to pay our writers, artists, editors, and to maintain the website.
