individualistic points of view in the form of essays, op-eds, columns, or creative non-fiction that offer a new or unexpected way into the topic.
topics can span film & TV, fashion, fragrance, music, social trends, books, and art—using these forms as a lens for cultural observation, contradiction, or critique rather than straightforward coverage, nostalgia, or familiar cultural talking points.
not currently. we put all the magazine’s revenue (from ads, merch, newsletter, donations) into a writer’s fund. once the fund is flush, we open commissions again. right now, every contribution is unpaid/voluntary <3
