Loco Mag is seeking college-age writers, photographers, videographers, designers, and interviewers to contribute to our latest issue! For those who aren’t familiar with our work, 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.
Not all ideas are created equal. You may have had an effective plan on paper, but it fell flat for one reason or another. Perhaps your vacation overseas did not pan out like you hoped it would because the trip back was bumpy. Whatever the case may be, there is a high chance that you have had something go awry at some point in your life, even if you carefully thought it through.
We’ve all had moments of overconfidence, times where we have had so much faith in what we thought would be a brilliant scheme. Yet somehow, the dominoes all fell over, causing these master plans to blow up completely. This is the perfect opportunity to look back on one of those times and laugh about it now that it is long behind you.
Need more inspiration? Here are some keywords to get you started: failed plans, in my head, room for improvement, yikes, that was rough, let’s try this again, underwhelming, I really thought this was a good idea, wow, shocking, let’s pretend this never happened, voices in my head, thoughts, headphones, music.
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 Sunday, April 19th, at 11:59pm. You can submit by clicking the “submissions” tab right below the featured slider on the homepage.
