some friends and i are starting a chicago local magazine and are looking for submissions!! you should go submit ur stuff here or follow the instagram to hear more about it! seems in line with what people are interested in on here! (: <3
I love to really engage with a literary mag’s works and assess the vibes for at least a handful of issues before I consider submitting anything. my two current favorites are Paloma on Substack and Angel Food 🕊️
disregard digital validation and don't let numbers be a gauge of how well you're doing. starting out with a small and loyal reader base is way more important than having a million subscribers
