First of all, though the title of the magazine is playful, the editor is dead serious about publishing good writing. The magazine wants to showcase the creativity and the richness of people’s inner lives.
Secondly, the magazine’s selections are not necessarily “crazy.” The title was chosen more for its appeal to the creativity and youthfulness that remains in all of us as we age. Too often, people over fifty are thought of as dull or uninteresting or overly sentimental. STILL CRAZY wants to provide evidence that proves otherwise, both in the quality of the writing and the subjects portrayed in the writing.
Third, the magazine provides a venue for writers and writing by and about people over fifty. The editor believes that most literary magazines are interested in younger writers and writing that appeals to a younger audience.
