Double Dutch Magazine Gold Star Program Gold Star Hi there! We've started accepting submissions for our sixth regular issue! Due to be published in November 2026. We want your poetry/music/art! But, to be blunt, we can be annoyingly picky at the same time? We're different from a lot of magazines out there in the sense that while we aim for a lot of things, pleasing is NOT one of them. Quality beats subject manner and/or choice of language every time. We applaud the outspoken. And, to be totally fair, we love us a bit of old fashioned controversy? This means we're not for everybody, so be it. It DOES however gives us a shot, as a magazine, to truly stand out. Or so we like to tell ourselves. Dream big, eh? Want in on that dream? Send us your very best, then!Our current issue!A short cut to who/what/why/for whom!Please also read our own submissions page!Important: the only translations we're currently accepting/looking for are those of Dutch or Flemish poetry/lyrics, translated in English, alongside the original and permission (duh!). Thnks!We do not pay for publishing your work. Would love to, but we lack the means. Other sites/people that claim that we do have been asked to rectify said claim. Cheers!
