Our magazine is an online publication based out of a real bookstore. We want any and every weird thing you can think of.

Magazine1 hopes to serve as both a showcase of excellent writing from around the world, but also as a literary hub for the Sarasota/St. Pete/Tampa area. We want to showcase work that challenges our ingrained understanding of what writing is as well as who it is that is writing. While we are not an explicitly experimental journal, and are happy to receive submissions that practice traditional forms, we encourage our submitters to give us work they feel they might have a hard time placing elsewhere. This may be because it defies genre expectations in one way or another, or because it may have somewhat challenging subject matter. Our mission is to create a space in which writers can explore the reaches of their imagination, and in that space cultivate a diverse community, both locally in the Sarasota area and the nation over.

We have a special submission call for writers from the west coast of Florida, so if you're from there, please submit to that call. Other than that we encourage everyone to submit except racists, transphobes, general pieces of shit, etc.

Of over a hundred magazines founded in 2024, these show particular promise based on effort, vision, and consistency already demonstrated.
