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.

Issue #66, titled “Growing Pains” is coming in hot! As always, there are plenty of very different ways to interpret this theme, and we’d love to fall down every rabbit hole with you. 

Here are some keywords from the staff to help you find some potential inspiration: chronic pain, bad jokes, disability, aches, midlife crisis, quarter life crisis, childhood, inner child, crisis, graduation, trauma, growing up, debt, Kirk Cameron, purpose, mental illness, self-discovery, parents, relationships, transition, bread, gardening, indoor plants.

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.

Submit your work by September 25th, 2022. You can submit by clicking the “submissions” tab right below the featured slider on the homepage.
