The Pineapple ‘zine is an online publication sponsored by Gallery of Readers Press. Edited by Walker Resnick and Robin Barber, we accept submissions of short fiction, essays, poetry, and creative non-fiction.

​Carol Edelstein established the Pineapple in the 1980’s as an occasional photocopied collection of work from the writers in her workshops and weekend retreats. In 2010, Gallery of Readers grew into a non-profit foundation, and Stephanie Gibbs set up the website at www.galleryofreaders.org. The first online Pineapple ‘zine was edited and maintained by Stephanie, as a print accompaniment to the recordings of Gallery readings posted on the website.
​We are now pleased to resume publication of the Pineapple.
