Nine Mile Literary Magazine A project of Nine Mile Books (see other related projects). About Nine Mile Magazine publishes twice yearly, showcasing the best work we receive from authors whose work, energy, and vision seem to us most deeply entangled with life. Our name comes from Nine Mile Creek, a 25-mile long waterway formed 14,000 years ago by glaciers in our region. Like our namesake creek, Nine Mile is varied and surprising, with different writings coming together to form a cohesive whole.Our purpose is to bring great writing, and great talk about writing, to our readers, without consideration of school, style, or form, but with a special focus on Central New York. This includes writers within and outside the mainstream, writers with disabilities, writers of color, writers with marginalized genders and sexual orientations, and writers from different cultures and religions. We produce this magazine in inclusive and accessible formats. We believe that poetry is everyone’s art. Important: Limited submission demographics may apply. As always, check current submission guidelines before submitting.
