Disco Kitchen Mag: Nonfiction Submissions
Overview
Disco Kitchen Mag is a literary magazine currently assembling its third volume. The publication seeks nonfiction manuscripts of around 3,000 words, alongside fiction, poetry, and visual art, indicating a multidisciplinary editorial scope. The magazine's open call reflects a commitment to publishing a range of voices and forms, with a particular emphasis on experimental work that may not fit neatly into conventional categories. For nonfiction submissions, the magazine provides a platform for essays and other factual prose that engage with the world through a personal or critical lens. While the guidelines do not prescribe a specific theme, the inclusion of 'experimental' as a category suggests an openness to hybrid or formally inventive nonfiction. Contributors whose work is selected will be published in Volume 3, joining a collection that spans multiple genres and media. The reading fee of $3.00 is a standard practice for many independent literary magazines, helping to offset production and administrative costs. The deadline of October 31, 2026, allows ample time for writers to refine their submissions. Disco Kitchen Mag's editorial team reviews all submissions and provides updates as the selection process progresses.
