*Interesting* is an edgy new literary magazine with decided academic and mystical tendencies. It will come out as often as I feel like it, and its contents are limited to what I, the editor, personally find interesting. I'm looking for poetry, artwork, essays, interviews, book reviews... Anything is fair game but NOTHING BORING.

Here are some examples of things that interest me... The rising stars of contemporary American poetry. Controversies in the practice of anthropology. Exorcism techniques. The space where literary criticism meets psychoanalysis. Deconstructionism, and bad-mannered mockeries of deconstructionism. Practical Kabbalah. The causes of poverty. Theosophy. Shamanism. Unpredictable haiku.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

POETRY: No rhyming or metered verse. Previously unpublished only. Send up to three in the body of an email (no attachments).

NONFICTION: Send a brief informal email: just tell me who you are and what interests you (briefly). A writing sample would be helpful (no attachments!) I'm looking for engaging writing with a strong voice. I'm looking to provide a forum for work that doesn't fit anywhere: eccentric, highly personal pieces. Please send them to me.

FICTION: No fiction.

ARTWORK: I'm looking for all kinds of original artwork for use on the cover and as content. Graphic-designy, young, experimental a +, but nothing gross. Send links; if you don't have an online portfolio, snap some digital pics and upload them to flickr or photobucket and send me the url. Once again: no attachments.

All submissions and related correspondence to: editor@interestingmag.net. I can't currently offer compensation for accepted work, just publication.
