Burnt Tongue

About the Substack

Burned my tongue editing prose like performance art: bloody: brutal: necessary. Unofficial official Editor-in-chief of the fiction tab: critic, and bomb throwing chaos agent. I advocate for Substack’s most immaculate prose and literary fiction.

About Emil Ottoman

Fiction is Culture. Writer, author, editor, publisher, artist, criminal, unrepentant. This is all just performance art for a dying world. The Editor, an autopsy artist to help lift the semi-pro up a level. I write panic attacks.
