—A.O. Scott, the New York Times Magazine

"Edgily erudite."

—Times Literary Supplement

"They intend nothing less in their periodical than to reimagine and reestablish the world."

Print Submissions
---------------

Writers interested in contributing to n+1 should note that we come out only twice a year, and that most if not all of the slots available for a given issue will have been filled by the editors many months before publication.

That said, if you would like to brave the odds, the best submissions guidelines are those implied by the magazine itself. Read an issue or two through to get a sense of whether your piece might fit into n+1. Nonfiction authors, please send a query outlining your argument, or, better yet, the first 500 -1000 words of your proposed piece, to queries@nplusonemag.com. Please also attach two or three samples of your work. We will do our best to answer all queries, but if you don't hear back from us within 6 weeks, assume the worst.

Fiction writers should submit work to fiction@nplusonemag.com. Please attach three short stories or the manuscript of a story collection or novel, noting which portions of the submitted work, if any, have been published or accepted for publication elsewhere. We want to have a sense of your fiction as a whole, as well as to know what part of your work we can consider publishing ourselves.

n+1 does not accept unsolicited poetry at this time.

 

Web Submissions
---------------

The website will be running n+1-type content that, because of its timeliness or its genre, cannot appear in the print issue. Check the Archive for an indication of the sorts of pieces we run; lengths might range from 500 to 2,500 words. Articles about global warming and the other despicable ecological consequences of contemporary capitalism will be considered first, followed by articles about sports. Book reviews will be read grudgingly but with something resembling an open mind.

Send queries to Chad Harbach at nplusoneweb@gmail.com.
