Loco Mag is seeking college age writers, photographers, videographers, designers, and interviewers to contribute to our latest issue! Loco is a lifestyle and culture magazine always on the hunt for new articles, photo spreads, and fresh takes on student perspectives. We are not strictly a news publication or a creative writing publication. We want to hear from you. We want your stories in your voice and your words.
Fifty. Issues. The number itself seems awe inspiring, and it’s the perfect milestone to celebrate. Before everything seemed to become a global pandemic level of serious, before we all went into a period of social distancing, before all of this mess, the Loco staff sat down for one more pitch meeting. As we looked for a way to commemorate and celebrate a 50th issue of our beloved mag, we landed on a theme that seems even funnier now. We spitballed for a while, going back and forth on jokes about our mag getting older, plays on the number 50, and we finally landed on a source of inspiration: Roman numerals. And, thus, Taking the L was born, and now we’re looking for your submissions.
What’s your favorite L word? Your favorite Laura Linney movie? Maybe you’re wondering how Lori Loughlin’s college admissions fraud trial is going. Is it finally time to explore all of Train’s “50 Ways to Say Goodbye?” We’re waiting for your “L”/50 related work, and we can’t wait to show you our own.
Our sections include Travel, Lifestyle, AV Room (Audio/Photo/Video), Entertainment, Mood, and Features. 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 photo spread to a 500 word interview to an hour long podcast to a 2-minute video. Be creative, and tell your truth.
Your work will need to be submitted by Monday, April 6th. You can submit by clicking the “Submit Work” tab at the top of the Loco home page.
Questions? Send them over to editor@locomag.com. Make sure to follow us on Twitter @locomag as well as the rest of our social media for updates and announcements, and we can’t wait to hear from you!
