DIAGRAM

DIAGRAM is an electronic journal of text and art.

As our name indicates, we're interested in representations. In naming. In indicating. In schematics. In the labeling and taxonomy of things. In poems that masquerade as stories; in stories that disguise themselves as indices or obituaries.

Submission guidelines are always asinine when they suggest the sort of aesthetic that the editors want. The best way to learn about any magazine is to read it. And conveniently we are (nearly) all online, alone, and free tonight. 

 SUBMIT interesting text, images, and new media.

WE VALUE the insides of things, vivisection, urgency, risk, elegance, flamboyance, work that moves us, language that does something new, or does something old--well. We like iteration and reiteration. Ruins and ghosts. Mechanical, moving parts, balloons, and frenzy. Buzz us.

WE WANT art and writing that demonstrates / interaction; the processes / of things, both inner and outer; how certain functions are accomplished; how things become. How they expire. How they move or churn, or stand.

We sponsor (along with New Michigan Press) a yearly chapbook competition.  All unpublished chapbook submissions are considered for DIAGRAM.

Brief statistic about the magazine: we get over a million hits monthly worldwide. Some countries in which we are evidently popular: the USA, the UK, Australia, and Japan. Rock on, readerships!

We describe ourselves as: odd but good.
