Hello writers, thinkers, and overanalyzers,
I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Stained Silk Magazine, a new digital and print literary magazine that takes an irreverent look at philosophy, meditation, psychology, and all things mindfulness and (mindlessness). We love personal narratives that wrestle with serious issues but don’t take themselves too seriously. If you’ve got an essay that blends introspection with a bit of edge—we want to read it.
For our debut issue, the theme is open-ended. We’re looking for work that digs deep, makes us think, and maybe makes us laugh (or at least smirk knowingly). If accepted, your work will appear in both our print and online editions. Contributors receive $30 and a copy of the print issue.
We are also looking for art to be featured in this issue.
Submissions are open through April 15. Check out our guidelines and send us your best work!
We’re excited to read your work and aim for a quick turnaround, but please allow up to six weeks for a response before following up.
Looking forward to reading your words!
