About the magazine

Rusted Radishes | مجلة فَمْ is a bilingual literary and arts journal based in Beirut, Lebanon. Founded in the early 2010s, it emerged as a platform for voices that navigate the intersections of language, displacement, and cultural hybridity. The journal publishes poetry, fiction, and visual art in both Arabic and English, often presenting works in translation or in dialogue across languages. Its ethos is rooted in a commitment to experimental and politically engaged writing, with a particular emphasis on the Arab world and its diaspora. By maintaining a print and digital presence, Rusted Radishes fosters a community of readers and writers who value linguistic play, historical memory, and the unflinching examination of contemporary life.

Submitting your work

Reading periodVaries

Writers and artists should submit work that demonstrates a strong command of language, whether in Arabic, English, or both. The journal favors pieces that engage with themes of identity, migration, and political context, but avoids overt propaganda in favor of nuanced craft. Simultaneous submissions are typically accepted, but notify the editors promptly if your work is placed elsewhere. Include a brief bio and note any prior publications. Response times can vary, so patience is advised. Familiarize yourself with past issues to understand the journal's aesthetic before submitting.
