IDLE (@idle__mag)

Looking for an excuse to text your ex? The SPLIT Issue is about the details that stick with us after it’s over. We’re looking for pairs of submissions from broken up couples, former friends, you and your favorite one night stand or any brief encounter that, for whatever reason, had an impact. We’re NOT looking for take downs of your ex, but explorations of memory, perspective, and diverging narratives. Accepting narrative non-fiction, essays and poetry from pairs and visual art submissions from anyone. Deadline to pitch March 20. Email idle @idlemag.com

A big thanks to all of our writers, artists and now… readers for coming to the ISSUE 01 launch party! Copies are currently sold out but available for preorder (just DM). For those that already preordered at the party we will follow up with details in the coming weeks. Photos by @danimal.dan

Join us at @shinsenbowery on Thursday, January 16 to celebrate our inaugural issue. Buy a copy, buy a drink, and stick around for performances from our contributors and music all night.
