About The Oxford American has launched a digital imprint designed around our mission “to explore the complexity and vitality of the American South,” which complements the print magazine. The OA has long documented the outsize impact of the South: a global exporter of food, music, and culture—and home to the most exciting cultural shifts in the country.Our imperative is to meet readers where they are and offer thoughtful coverage of our region that “cuts through the noise” of traditional news media by centering real people and writers working from within their communities. Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for some submissions. They charge fees for submission manager submissions. The fee is USD $3 (average for magazines that charge).
