We offer a payment of £20 for all accepted works. Whilst we appreciate this isn’t much, we operate without external funding, and this amount represents a fair sharing of the actual income the magazine generates.
Whilst there is limited space in the physical magazine, we will endeavor to publish work on our website as well. Unfortunately there is no fee for website published work.
Digital-only submissions that cannot be recreated in a physical magazine (such as music) are not eligible for a fee (but may be featured on our website/SM).
Although we provide no strict style guidelines, our interest is in experimental (in the broadest sense), unusual, and novel work that pushes against the boundaries of existing styles and methods. We particularly love work that engages with notions of community, and that which seeks to wield art and writing as a force for social change. Each issue, we curate a broad church of experimental, grass-roots, underground art and writing – no style, approach, or medium is off limits.
MEANS believes in the inherent diversity of grassroots culture. If you have anything within our theme that doesn’t fit into the above, but you feel would work either on our website or in the magazine, feel free to get in touch.
