Loco Mag is seeking college age writers, photographers, videographers, and interviewers to contribute to our upcoming theme! We’re a lifestyle and culture magazine always on the hunt for new articles, photospreads, and fresh takes on student perspectives. We’re not strictly a news publication, nor are we a creative writing publication. We want to hear your voice and read real life, tangible stories.
Our upcoming issue will be called Singing in the Shower. You know the saying: “April showers, May flowers,” but you know – that kind of gives April a bad reputation. Here at Loco we’re celebrating (or, well, dying for) the hint of spring outside.
To that end, Singing in the Shower is about the things that spark joy. What songs, concerts, or albums have forced you to sing them when you think you’re alone (but really your roommates can definitely hear you)? With finals coming up, have you had an impromptu spa day recently? Give us your most passionate argument for why Deer Park water beats Dasani out of the ball (or water?) park. Or, maybe the opposite if that sentence enraged you.
Our sections include Features, Travel, Lifestyle, Entertainment, and the A/V Room (podcasts, videos, etc). Features typically run around 1,500 words. Have more than that? Cool! If not, no worries. We’re an electronic publication so space is unlimited. We’ll accept anything from a 250 word photospread to a 500 word interview to an hour long podcast to a 2-minute video. If nothing, follow this phrase: be creative, be real.
Singing in the Shower will be releasing twice in April, giving you two opportunities to get your work out there.
