Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
[Alternate Route] strives to provide a voice for the often neglected in society, for those of us who do not fit in to the mainstream. As the name goes, there's always another road to travel, another route, and we hope to provide it for writers out there. We are an indie beatnik artsy-fartsy lovey-dovey literary magazine published quarterly online only. Please see our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/alternate_route.
Accepts Unsolicited Submissions
Yes
Do You Have Any Cover Letter Advice?
We're not too stringent so feel free to be a little loose or relaxed, if you will, with your cover letter. Having said that, professionalism IS much appreciated.
What Do You Look For In A Submission?
Artistic merit. It's an abstract concept so I recommend reading elsewhere in professional essays or books about it if you want!
What Advice Do You Have For First-time Submitters?
Don't be nervous! DO edit the bahoola out of your work. If you don't, it shows.
Do You Have A Favorite Unsolicited Submission Discovery Or Anecdote?
One of our published authors is a strong advocate for advertising our journal in the informal sense, which is awesome. We're also hugely flattered whenever authors seem truly engaged with their submission. We're honored that you're honored.
Who Is Your Ideal Reader?
Hipster beatnik black mascara purple clip-on wig steel-toe zip-tie knee-high leather boots short skirt long jacket.
