Homeplace Magazine

Fledgling Listing: This project is new and has been listed with us for less than six months.

About

Homeplace is a youth-focused arts magazine, centered on how culture, memory, media, and lived experience become art. We publish all types of art and writing about everyday experiences, memories, and relationships, which nurture meaningful discussions about topics such as identity, teen culture, social trends, and politics. In our blog and print editions, we make a conscious effort to highlight the creative process behind each story, photo, and piece of artwork.

Our mission is to create space for young creatives to authentically share their creative processes and experiences through art, writing, and community. We hope to pave the way for fellow young creatives to fulfill their creative goals and feel empowered to express themselves.

Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to "creative youths."

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
