About

The Oxford American is a national magazine dedicated to featuring the very best in Southern writing while documenting the complexity and vitality of the American South. The editors at The Oxford American are constantly searching for well-written and substantive new fiction, nonfiction, and proposals for ambitious reporting projects that explore the American South. We request that before submitting completed pieces or proposals, writers make themselves familiar with the spirit and aim of the magazine. It is discouraging to the editors to receive manuscripts from writers who clearly do not know much about the magazine.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions.
