Thin Air Magazine — TAM33 Nonfiction Submissions (PRINT)

Overview
Thin Air Magazine is soliciting nonfiction for its forthcoming print issue, TAM33, under the theme 'Oasis.' The magazine provides a platform for essays that interrogate the concept of refuge—whether literal or metaphorical—in a world that often feels arid and turbulent. With a maximum length of 3,000 words, the editors welcome standalone book excerpts and pieces that incorporate visuals, provided the author holds copyright. The submission guidelines emphasize a blind review process: manuscripts must omit identifying information, use standard formatting (Times New Roman, Calibri, or Arial, 12pt, double-spaced, 1-inch margins), and include page numbers and a word count. Unique formatting is permitted only when integral to the piece. The theme 'Oasis' is drawn from Merriam-Webster's definition: 'a fertile or green area in an arid region' or 'something that provides refuge, relief, or pleasant contrast.' Thin Air Magazine seeks to expand upon this notion, asking contributors to consider the myriad ways refuge manifests. While the magazine does not specify a prize or honorarium, publication in a print issue offers a tangible venue for nonfiction that engages with the theme. The $3 fee is a standard administrative cost for submission. The editors' focus on blind review and formatting precision suggests a commitment to fair and professional evaluation. This call is best suited for writers whose work aligns with the thematic and formal parameters outlined.
