Additional info

Literature Matters. So do you. Submission Guidelines can be found at: https://midlvmag.com/submission-guidelines Each issue of MIDLVLMAG is themed. Upcoming and current themes are announced and promoted first on Twitter/Instagram, then updated on our website - follow us on both platforms for additional content. Themes are meant to inspire writing, but not be a hard rule for what we will accept in submissions. After publication, MIDLVLMAG promotes contributor pieces on Twitter and Instagram.

About the Magazine

Founded in 2022 | United States

Mid-Level Management Literary Magazine (MIDLVLMAG) is a Seattle based, digital literary journal dedicated to publishing poetry, prose, fiction, and essays that explore the intersection of the professional and personal. In a late stage world where everything is commodity, the spaces we create to confront that reality are essential. Part absurd and part serious. Part gallows humor and part sweeping epic. MIDLVLMAG is all literary, We want to be the catharsis to our hustle & grind culture, and the decompression when we’re off the clock. In that vein of the outrageous, MIDLVLMAG is an open floor plan, a poorly lit florescent cubicle, a breakroom with terrible coffee and a disconnected, tone deaf management team, rallying employees via corny corporate culture. We celebrate casual Fridays, short sleeve button ups, PIPs, mandatory safety training, and the ever holy smoke break. Literature matters. So do you.
