About the organization
Hippocampus Magazine is an online publication dedicated exclusively to creative nonfiction, founded in 2010 with the conviction that memoir, personal essay, and literary journalism deserve a dedicated and discerning venue. Its name evokes the hippocampus as the seat of memory, underscoring a curatorial commitment to work that interrogates the past with formal intelligence and emotional precision. The magazine publishes monthly issues and maintains a regular submissions calendar, positioning itself as a reliable home for both emerging and established voices in the genre.
Opportunities
2 listedApplication guidance
Before submitting, read several recent issues to gauge the magazine's editorial range, which favors vivid scenes, reflective depth, and structural coherence over mere anecdote. Follow the guidelines on the submissions page precisely: simultaneous submissions are generally permitted with prompt notification, and the magazine typically responds within a few months. Avoid pitching previously published work or pieces that read as thinly veiled fiction; Hippocampus seeks factual, well-shaped nonfiction that honors the complexity of lived experience.
