About the magazine

Love Me Magazine (Poetry + Gossip) is an online publication that operates at the intersection of poetic practice and cultural commentary. Founded as a digital platform, it has cultivated a distinct space where lyric expression and the vernacular of gossip—often dismissed as trivial—are placed in deliberate conversation. The magazine's ethos resists the false hierarchy between the literary and the everyday, treating both the poem and the rumor as forms of intimate transmission. Its core mission is to publish work that is emotionally immediate, formally restless, and unafraid of the pleasures and pains of social life. By foregrounding the gossipy alongside the poetic, Love Me Magazine invites contributors to consider how private utterance becomes public currency, and how the smallest details of a life can carry the weight of a chorus.

Submitting your work

Reading periodOpen now

Before submitting, read several recent issues to understand the magazine's tonal range: it favors work that feels spoken, confessional, and alert to the social textures of daily life. Poems that are purely abstract or heavily formal without an emotional hook may find less traction. For gossip-adjacent pieces, avoid mere name-dropping or cruelty; the best submissions transform anecdote into something resonant and strange. Simultaneous submissions are generally acceptable, but notify promptly if accepted elsewhere. Expect a response time of several weeks to a few months, as this is a small, editor-run operation. Include a brief third-person bio and a note about what drew you to the magazine's particular blend of poetry and gossip.
