Lookout, Debris!

by Emily Bennett

There’s a new literary/art magazine in town that just so happens to be run by yours truly.

Debris Magazine is online only for now and publishes quarterly, but will feature an artist and a photographer monthly, so check back often for updates. Despite having its origins in Pittsburgh, the talent featured in this first issue reaches as far as England and Russia.

The first issue also features a local photographer by the name of Jeff Zoet who does amazing work and also a local artist, Matt Gondek. I would love to see more local artists featured monthly. I know there are a bunch of you out there, so don’t be shy. The issue also features a Russian illustrator, poets and writers from around the country and world, a travel article on Chile-which sounds like a wonderful place to visit, a review on a local glass art exhibit and more!

The second issue will be published in October and will be the fall/Halloween issue. So if you’re disappointed with the first issue, make sure you give me another chance by checking out the next one when it comes out.

Or you could always make it better by contributing something yourself!

I’m looking for poetry/prose, short stories, essays, reviews, travel writing, artwork, photography and more! I would seriously love for more local reviews and travel writing. I love reading about places I may or may never visit! And I know plenty of people besides myself that travel a lot. Don’t make me write my own articles!! And as I mentioned in the submission guidelines on the website, don’t hesitate because you feel that what you do is not creative or does not necessarily fit into a certain category of what is art or literature. Boundaries are meant to be broken.

I also feel that Pittsburgh has a lot of great talent. Help me let the world see that! I will try and highlight local talent as much as possible, so start sending in your best work asap!

For further details on how to submit work or if you want to check out the first issue, click on the banner below.

Debris has a Myspace here.
I’m also looking for advertisers to earn revenue for a print version and it’s cheap, so ask me if you’re interested!
