New Reader Magazine

New Reader Magazine is always looking for fresh perspectives and provocative new voices. We want stories about humans and about being human.

Investigative stories are welcome, as are memoirs and profiles, interviews, etc. of people who are doing interesting things and changing perspectives in big cities or small, secret towns. We’re also looking for fiction and poetry of all kinds, and we especially welcome experimental fiction and poetry and work that defies genre conventions.

At this time, we are not looking to publish hard news or purely political op-ed pieces.

Pitches are also welcome. When sending a pitch, please include PITCH in your email’s subject line.
