WE VALUE the insides of things, vivisection, urgency, risk, elegance, flamboyance, work that moves us, language that does something new, or does something old--well. We like iteration and reiteration. Ruins and ghosts. Mechanical, moving parts, balloons, and frenzy. Buzz us.

How to submit

  • Processs

    Form

  • Cover letter

    Fill in the comments field with any additional information you’d like to send (a cover letter, perhaps, might be pasted in here; some of our editors enjoy reading those)

  • Eligibility

    No specific eligibility requirements

  • Formatting

    we can read PDF, DOC, RTF, and JPG—no archives, please—and right now we are not accepting sound submissions through the submissions manager

  • Author's rights

    Typically, we acquire first serial rights for work we publish (which means we do not normally consider previously published work). All rights revert to the authors/artists after publication, and the works can then be reprinted (though we ask that we get an acknowledgment as its place of initial publication).

  • Additional info

    Well it's just really cool alright?

About

DIAGRAM is an electronic journal of text and art. As our name indicates, we're interested in representations. In naming. In indicating. In schematics. In the labelling and taxonomy of things. In poems that masquerade as stories; in stories that disguise themselves as indices or obituaries.
