IDK Magazine Driving away every last follower but having a v good time while doing it

IDK Magazine flirts with the unknown. (Eat your vegetables, kids.)

We love Millennials and the people who write about them. We believe in writing our way out of the cultural wasteland; disobeying social norms; satirizing pop culture; sugar-coating the past through the practice of nostalgia; embracing, celebrating, and rejecting Internet culture; placing a bullhorn in front of the mouth of tomorrow; and empowering the collective body of future humanity. We love el

ectric prose and poems that make the hairs on our arms stand pin-straight. Nothing’s better, in our book, than a sentence that can crack our skull open like an egg or a line that forces us to remember its internal rhyme weeks later. We hope you’ll fiddle with form. We hope you’ll hug your strangeness. Play with dissonance; play with assonance. Interrogate dead leaders. Become notorious. Since IDK’s mission revolves around the Millennial generation, we primarily seek to publish emerging writers born between the years of 1980 and 1995. We don’t want to be ageists, though, so if you fall outside those brackets but are writing about the life and times of Generation Y, send us your work. We wouldn’t want to exclude any powerful voices as we do our part to curate a portion of the world’s best writing.

It looks beautiful in web pages. It looks beautiful in digital, animated pages that flip like a print magazine. But most importantly, it has beautiful work inside. Have you seen IDK Issue 4 yet?

Just under three hours left to submit to the open reading period for Issue 4! We're already so proud of this lilbaby™ and can't wait to see how it turns out this spring/summer.

We promised an announcement; and maybe we waited for the summer fun to start, but we knew you wanted to hit up that kiddie pool! Here’s the skinny. When IDK returns in August, we won’t be just a fully redesigned online litmag hot spot.

Next steps include:
1) Our first-ever themed issue, with a call for submissions coming soon,
2) A chapbook press spearheaded by poetess & designer extraordinaire Kinsley Stocum,
3) And announcements about even more ways to be part of the IDK family… Blog series? Merch store? Online karaoke contests? Who know?!

So hang tight, because we’re almost ready to pump this gig up to FUNBOY inflatable flamingo levels.
