AGNI: Conversation
Overview
AGNI has long been a home for writing that engages deeply with the world of ideas, and its pages have hosted conversations that illuminate the practices of poets, novelists, critics, and thinkers. This call invites a single interview or conversation, a form that demands both editorial rigor and a genuine curiosity about the subject. The magazine's commitment to serious literary and intellectual work means that the conversation should feel necessary—an exchange that could not have happened elsewhere. The selected piece will appear in AGNI's print and digital editions, reaching a readership that values sustained attention and thoughtful discourse. While no monetary prize is offered, publication in AGNI carries significant weight within the literary community, signaling a level of craft and insight that the magazine's editors have long championed. The absence of a submission fee reflects AGNI's dedication to accessibility and its focus on the work itself. Curatorially, the editors are looking for conversations that transcend the promotional or the merely informative. The ideal submission will reveal something new about its subject, whether through the interviewer's preparation, the interviewee's candor, or the chemistry between them. It should be a piece that stands on its own as literature, not merely as a transcript.
