About the magazine

Otis Nebula is an independent platform for experimental poetry and hybrid text, founded in 2018 by a collective of writers and artists. It operates as a digital-first press and curatorial project, emphasizing work that challenges conventional boundaries of genre, form, and medium. The ethos is rooted in process, collaboration, and the belief that poetry can be a site for radical inquiry and material exploration.

Editorial focus

Otis Nebula seeks to remedy what the internet has wrought upon common social spaces, to be as close to a campfire as you can get on a screen. They like poems with a pulse and stories with legs. Please keep it short (under 1000 words preferred, regardless of genre). Send images, comics, and doodles, too.

Before submitting, familiarize yourself with the press's catalog to understand its aesthetic. They favor work that is conceptually rigorous and formally adventurous. Submissions should include a brief artist statement and a sample of your work, but avoid over-explaining; let the work speak. Response times can be slow, so patience is advised. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please notify promptly if your work is placed elsewhere.
