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.
While summer has officially overtaken us, Loco Mag has undergone its own change of season. Both of our beloved Editors-in-Chief, along with several invaluable staff members, have graduated. In the wake of their departure, the two latest EIC recruits will make our debut with the aptly named 71st issue: Dog Days.
Contrary to Florence + the Machine’s ionic lyrics, the dog days are not over—at least not quite yet—and there’s no better way to spend the heat of summer than sharing your thoughts and stories with yours truly. We’re ready for all your wildest interpretations of this theme, from much-needed climate change commentary, to deep dives into the origin of “dog days” (Google it, I promise it’s more interesting than you think), to of course any and all things dog. Seriously, pictures of dogs are always welcome.
Need some inspiration? Here are some keywords to get you started: dogs (of course), heat, constellations, stargazing, laziness, summer activities/events, climate change, music, cooling down, summer jobs, boredom, heatwaves.
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 July 24th, 2023. You can submit by clicking the “submissions” tab right below the featured slider on the homepage.
Questions? Send them over to editor@locomag.com or DM us on Instagram @Locomag. To stay in the know for all things Loco Mag, be sure to follow our pages on Instagram and Twitter. We look forward to receiving your submissions!
