About the magazine

Ofi Press Magazine is an independent literary and arts publication based in Mexico City, founded in 2010 by the poet and editor Rosario Ochoa. Emerging from the vibrant independent publishing scene of the city, the magazine was conceived as a platform for voices that often remain outside mainstream literary circuits, with a particular emphasis on contemporary poetry, short fiction, and visual arts. Its founding ethos is rooted in a commitment to aesthetic risk, multilingual exchange, and the democratization of literary space, publishing work in Spanish, English, and indigenous languages of the Americas. Over the years, Ofi Press has maintained a deliberately uncommercial profile, prioritizing the integrity of the work over market trends, and has become a respected fixture in Latin American alternative letters.

Editorial focus

The mission of Ofi Press Magazine is to promote superb work from all over the world as well as translated work from Mexican poets.

Artists and writers approaching Ofi Press should first familiarize themselves with the magazine's aesthetic range by reviewing past issues, available through its Calameo archive. Submissions are typically open for poetry, short fiction, and visual art, with guidelines posted periodically on the website. The editors value work that demonstrates formal experimentation, linguistic inventiveness, and a clear sense of purpose. Simultaneous submissions are generally accepted, but notify promptly if the work is placed elsewhere. Given the magazine's small team, response times can be slow; patience is advised. Include a brief bio and a cover letter that contextualizes your practice without overstatement. Ofi Press favors submissions that engage with cross-cultural or multilingual contexts, though this is not a requirement. Always adhere to the specified reading periods and format your files as requested.
