Where the Mind Sprocket staff writes about inspiration, communication, culture, storytelling, and more.
The Back Page is where the feet go up on the desk at the end of the day. It’s that good book with a mug of hot cocoa just before bed. It’s where we goof off after a hard day’s work. The Back Page is our blog.
Where we keep you updated on all the cool new stuff.
Do you like advertisements? I can’t say that I’m a fan. They are invasive, cause clutter, and more often than not unhelpful.
“But wait!” the crowd shouts. “You’ve got them on Mind Sprocket.”
Ah ha, good eye! That is a sad fact indeed. Unfortunately, like everything and everybody, we have bills to pay. For our first couple […]
Slowly but surely, The Back Page is becoming something more than just a web page with words on it. Well, we’d like to think that that’s not all it has been, but visually speaking, it didn’t start out as anything fancy.
We’ve been adding some interesting blogs to our blogroll and now have post categories, so […]
This is our second slate of publishing this June. All the better for you!
We introduce Andrea MacEachern in This Is My Heaven (with a fantastic illustration by the famed Anatole Upart) and welcome back Charlene Baldridge for Dancing Out of Time. Both are great pieces, and we’re proud to publish them.
Also, please take our quick […]
Please take our super-quick ten question online survey!
I used Survey Monkey to make the survey super easy and super fast. I don’t want to waste your time.
The information you provide us with is important! We’re putting together our first ever publication in October and want to make sure that we’re giving you what you want […]
Dear Reader,
We haven’t told anybody about this. Until now, that is. Your voice, thoughts, and what you want to read matters to us because you, Dear Reader, are the reason we write. That’s why we put together these three free e-books for you.
We believe we have something to say and we want you to […]
We are calling for submissions for our first ever print publication in the Fall.
We need fiction, nonfiction, and photos under the theme Documenting the Unseen.
Mind Sprocket magazine is seeking essays and short stories based on the theme Documenting the Unseen. Prose should tell the story of someone who has no voice. As the writer, you […]

We’re two years and counting! On May 24th (tomorrow), Mind Sprocket will have aged a full 24 months since our launch day. This is exciting!
What makes Mind Sprocket matter is you, the reader. We recognize this and we want to celebrate you!
With the help of our talented illustrator Anatole Upart, and the […]
The Mind Sprocket editorial staff is officially at full steam. We’ve tried to slow down, but we can’t. The idea we hit upon is infectious, and we can’t get away from it. We’re trying to contain ourselves, and we may succeed for a few more weeks.
But be on the look out.
Something big, […]
Dear readers,
As you may have noticed, posts in the The Back Page have been scarce this past week. That’s because members of the Mind Sprocket staff have been taking finals, moving into new apartments, moving into old apartments, and one of them is in the midst of being a semi-professional singer daily for two weeks.
We do apologize […]
Sometimes the truth is
Not what you want it to be.
Is it ever what you expected?
No, probably not.
Are you okay with that?
