Alas, other magazine is closed to submissions for the fall of 2007. Please check back on this page for more updates soon.
Our General Format:
At Other, we print articles and art which question the idea that your identity and tastes are as simple as checkboxes on a questionnaire. Our editorial format most closely resembles that of a general interest magazine like The New Yorker, Salon.com or Harpers, with a focus on genuinely challenging concepts and scathing social criticism.
Other seeks essays, fiction, satire, investigative journalism, cartoons, and art which reject traditional categories, both in style and content.
Possible topics might include: the trouble with target marketing, going beyond party politics, racial blurring, subversive media and technology, rebel futurism, queerness, anti-authoritarianism, non-traditional families, and pop culture. We like writing that combines critical thought with personal experience, but memoirs and personal essays don't excite us. Regular features of every issue include an anti-tourist travel column, profiles of people who are "other," as well as short write-ups of unusual news. Every issue will also include several longer essays and one piece each of micro and macro fiction.
For non-fiction pieces, please send a query before submitting. For all others, just please send it on. We're particularly looking for:
Please send non-fiction submissions to: nonfic@othermag.org
Please send fiction submissions to: fiction@othermag.org
Please send artwork to: artwork@othermag.org
Please send poetry to: poetry@othermag.org
Please send comics to comix@othermag.org
