SWAGAZINE was an excursion in creative writing that originated in the small online community within Santa Barbara. Writers from southern California, and the Santa Barbara area in particular, were the core participants. While it was still our intent to spotlight local talent from this area, we eventually began publishing works from anyone, anywhere, so long as the material was good.
