Free to Apply
Closing: 2nd January ’26
Open call for submissions to the third issue of Outhouse Magazine, an independent publication showcasing new, diverse voices. Seeking essays and think pieces related to politics, art, culture, and society, plus creative writing (all genres) that engages with the theme “URBAN DREAMSCAPES.”
The theme explores big cities – dreams, freedom, opportunities, joys, hopes, beauty, but also loneliness, inequality, claustrophobic apartments, abandoned dreams, and the complex relationship between people and metropolises. What pushes us to leave, what pulls us to stay, and the price we pay. Only finalized works accepted (no pitches).
Submission limits: essays and fiction maximum 1,500 words; poetry up to 3 poems per submission. Format: Word or Google document. The magazine is distributed through various independent bookshops including Lala Books, Burley Fisher Books, Peckham Books, Review Bookshop, and available online.
