About

114 members set this magazine as a Favorite.

Oxford Magazine is a literary magazine edited and published by graduate students in the Department of English at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Since our premiere in 1984, our magazine has received Pushcart Prizes for both fiction and poetry, and has published authors such as Charles Baxter, William Stafford, Robert Pinsky, Stephen Dixon, Helena Maria Viramontes, Andre Dubus, and Stuart Dybek. In 1997, Writers Digest named Oxford Magazine one of the fifty best fiction markets. In 2004, we left the world of ink and paper and became a web-based publication. This has allowed us to integrate sound and video into the works, as well as to reach a much greater readership.

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.
