Our latest issue

Issue 12 front cover Transmission celebrates the festival experience with Issue #12, featuring short fiction that ranges from the joys of a night at the opera to the grubbier communion of the cockfight.

We also interview two Manchester novelists, Ray Robinson and Joe Stretch and the award-winning Michael Symmons Roberts shares his thoughts about his literary double life.
