Magazine1

About

Magazine1 is a literary magazine based out of Bookstore1 in Sarasota, Florida. The editorial team is a combination of the bookstore staff and a few wonderful volunteers from the community. Our magazine is an online publication and features works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, visual art, and hybrid work that may not fit evenly into any other genres as they are traditionally understood.
Magazine1 will serve as both a showcase of excellent writing from around the world, but also as a literary hub for the Sarasota/St. Pete/Tampa area. We want to showcase work that challenges our ingrained understanding of what writing is as well as who it is that is writing. While we are not an explicitly experimental journal, and are happy to receive submissions that practice traditional forms, we encourage our submitters to give us work they feel they might have a hard time placing elsewhere. This may be because it defies genre expectations in one way or another, or because it may have somewhat challenging subject matter. Our mission is to create a space in which writers can explore the reaches of their imagination, and in that space cultivate a diverse community, both locally in the Sarasota area and the nation over.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions, and they do not offer monetary payment for accepted submissions. (Note: About 8% of magazines always charge fees.)
The fee is USD $5 (above average for magazines that charge).
