About OxMag

OxMag (or more formally: Oxford Magazine) is a literary & arts magazine edited and published by creative writing MFA students at Miami University. Since our premiere in 1984, our magazine has received Pushcart Prizes for both fiction and poetry and has published authors such as Charles Baxter, William Stafford, Robert Pinsky, Stephen Dixon, Helena Maria Viramontes, Andre Dubus, and Stuart Dybek. Appearing biannually, OxMag is a web-based journal that accepts fiction, poetry, art + new media, and creative nonfiction/essays. 

ISSUE 56 SUBMISSIONS OPEN UNTIL MARCH 31 

We're looking for prose, poetry, hybrid work, and art that bends genres, experiments with forms, and includes unusual, even bizarre, premises. We particularly enjoy work that makes daring comparisons, includes strange points-of-view, and that makes us unsure if we should laugh or cry. 

1. Fiction: Please submit only one piece* up to 3500 words (max). 

• CNF: Please submit only one piece* up to 3500 words (max). 
• Poetry: Please submit no more than 3 poems, all contained in one document. 
• Art + New Media: For all work (including 3D art pieces), please submit a high-resolution .JPEG, JPG, PNG, or .TIFF file. Though it isn’t required, you may also submit an artist statement about the work (100-200 words) in your cover letter. 

*IF YOU ARE SUBMITTING MICRO-WORK, you can submit up to three pieces provided the submission does not exceed three pages.
