Contributions & Submissions / Before you submit! 

Thanks for considering us to publish your work! Please read the following guidelines first.

• We are looking for new photographers and illustrators.

• We are looking for writers who’d like to publish a new or existing essay in our magazine. Keep the following in mind:

  • We're not about clickbait or hyperbole. We don't share one-off events in print or publish lists of the top ten trendiest brunch spots. We publish immersive, thoughtful stories, interviews, essays, recipes, poetry, and curated guides that represent Minnesota and our communities in a genuine way.

  • Subject matter is broad, though correlates with a theme for every issue. Past themes include: Vision, Curiosity, Perspective, and Identity. Some examples of our content would be maker/artist interviews, thoughtful guides to little-known hikes and spots that spark creativity, and tales of growing, making, and connecting the realms of craft and community.

• We sometimes re-publish essays that have previously appeared online – feel free to send us a link to your piece. If you’d like to write a new piece for us, please include some references.

• We are also always looking for guest editors of our seldom released newsletter. If you’d like to share your favorite local goodies and spots with our audience, please get in touch.
