Irked Magazine, founded by Sacha Vais in 2005, was committed to the basic idea that people improve when they know someone is paying attention. Founded by an agoraphobe¹, Irked was published in print and then online by three young writers who solicited stories from a large variety of writers. It ended publication in 2014. Here is how they attracted input: [Canada]

Irked provides an outlet for the silent emotions to which we wish to give voice. We think that in each of us lies an artist, and that in each of us lies a story that is dying to be told…We believe that people everywhere can become less sad, or worried, or angry, or violent, or self-destructive simply by being given a forum to publish their work, and the dignity that comes with that sort of thing. We're interested in your story. Write about what propels you. Take photographs on your worst day. Make a documentary about how you are coping with the treacherous terrain that is your life.
