pop culture and politics for the new outcasts

Please answer yes or no to the following questions:

• Are your political opinions "unacceptable"?
• Do people claim you're a member of a group you don't feel part of?
• Has your body ever clashed with social expectations?
• Have you ever had to censor yourself in a conversation about your life?
• Do you celebrate occasions that have no Hallmark card?
• Do you see something wrong when other people don't?
• Do you laugh during the serious parts of art movies?
• Are you fascinated by things people consider strange or confusing?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, then you need other magazine and we need you!

Other magazine is for people who defy categories. We print everything from genre-busting fiction, journalism, and essays, to cartoons, artwork, and innovative graphic design. Every four months, our writers bring you challenging ideas, wild tales, rebel futurism, global media, pop criticism, and indie idealism.

Other magazine is based in San Francisco, CA and Cambridge, MA. Our staff has vast experience in magazine publishing and writing, but we bring a fresh perspective to this magazine. Other magazine is published in February, June and October.
