"We may not make it, but if we don't we'll go up in flames..." Jacob Barnes is editor-in-chief of Soft Punk, a new literary and arts magazine that’s working hard to tell stories you won’t come across elsewhere. Jacob and most of the team are navigating the move from university into work, and it seems like almost by accident they’ve found themselves creating this magazine as a way of showcasing the sort of stories they love. But there’s also something more deliberate and ambitious going on; they’re also committing themselves to a demanding quarterly publishing schedule, and engaging with the sort of serious work that can make a lasting impression on readers – at least it did for me.
