Geist<\/i><\/strong>\u00a0is a magazine of ideas and culture\u00a0with a strong literary focus and a sense of humour. The\u00a0Geist\u00a0<\/em>tone is intelligent, plain-talking, inclusive and offbeat. Each issue represents a convergence of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, photography, comics, reviews, little-known facts of interest, cartography and the legendary\u00a0Geist\u00a0<\/em>crossword puzzle.\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

We encourage submissions from writers of colour, writers with disabilities, LGBTQIA2S+ writers, and writers from other intersectional and marginalized groups.<\/p>\n

What to Submit<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Before submitting work,\u00a0read several issues<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0Geist<\/em>, or dig into the archives at\u00a0geist.com<\/a>, to get a sense of the kind of the work we publish.<\/p>\n

Geist\u00a0<\/em>is always seeking\u00a0short non-fiction<\/strong>\u00a0(around 800-1500 words, flexible), typically personal narrative, for the\u00a0Notes & Dispatches<\/strong>\u00a0section. We are especially interested in writing grounded in a sense of place, historical narrative, personal essays on art, music\u00a0and culture, profiles of\u00a0ordinary people with extraordinary stories, fascinating fields of work, practices\u00a0or hobbies, and everyday occurrences that show the humour and strangeness of life. Read examples\u00a0here<\/a>. Pay is commensurate with length, usually $300-500.<\/p>\n

Longer non-fiction<\/strong>\u00a0pieces (up to 5000 words) are published as\u00a0Features<\/a>.\u00a0We pay up to $1000.<\/p>\n

We are especially reading for non-fiction at this time.<\/u><\/i><\/p>\n

Fiction<\/strong>:\u00a0We publish short stories (up to 5000 words) in the Features section. We usually publish one story per issue, so please send only your best work. We pay up to $1000. Check out our recent\u00a0short fiction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Poetry<\/strong>:\u00a0Send a maximum of 5\u00a0poems<\/a>. We pay $100 per page.<\/p>\n
