A Public Space A Public Space seeks writing that uncovers the extraordinary in the everyday, provides a rare glimpse, exposes an unexpected truth, starts a cross-cultural conversation, or puts forth a daring hypothesis. There are no boundaries or stipulations with the exception of requiring authenticity, curiosity, and an honest voice. We suggest that familiarity with the magazine – reading an issue or two – is the best way to gauge whether your work will be a good fit. |
