Digital literary quarterly for new, emerging and established writers and artists. The editors seek good writing above anything else: inspired, unbound, and diverse. Original work only.
Submitting your work
Artists should approach Thieving Magpie with proposals that are open-ended and adaptable to non-traditional spaces. The collective responds well to projects that engage with found materials, collaboration, or site-specificity. Submissions are typically accepted via email and should include a concise project description, images or work samples, and a clear sense of how the project aligns with the magpie ethos of reuse and recombination. Given the collective's limited capacity, applicants are advised to be patient and to follow up only after a reasonable period. It is also helpful to demonstrate familiarity with the collective's past projects and to propose a concrete, feasible plan rather than a fully realized exhibition.
