All your secrets are safe

SGT Magazine died in a dragon drone strike outside of Horodyshche, Ukraine on January 15, 2025. 5,000 tons of thermite were dropped upon the magazine, its cartoon mascot, local vegetation, and wildlife, burning everything in sight.

Please keep SGT Magazine in your thoughts and prayers. Please guide its spirit through the nether realm and its possible avenues of reincarnation. Please wash your hands five times.

Dragons are real and were born from our nightmares.

(RIP DAVID LYNCH)

MEET SCOTT MORGAN, ARTILLERY-MAN OF ABOMINATIONS AND CUTENESS!

Scott Morgan is a liminal entity currently haunting South Bend, IN, diligently working on innumerable clandestine projects and creations. Writing poetry since his first steps in corporeal form, Scott is the quintessential mad scientist. As a poet, he is a portal to worlds and stories meant to guide the eldritch and mystify humanity. As an artist, he strives to convey his own unknowable messages. While Scott has yet to fully publish his own full-body collections of work (“believe me, they’re coming! They’re coming and you cannot stop them!”), he is determined to appease the spirits of creativity and invention. Here at SGT Magazine, Scott hopes to usher in a little chaos to order and inspire others to think outside their tiny human boxes.

Like everyone with a functioning soul and a working brain, this pandemic has gotten us down at SGT Magazine. To overcome this current malaise, I found it necessary to draft a new editorial squad— a team of literary mercenaries culled from the deep recess of poetic thought to bolster this magazine’s artistic defenses. Please welcome Diane Passero and Scott Anton Morgan, newly commissioned officers at SGT Magazine. Over the next couple of weeks, they will introduce themselves on this page. I am excited to work with them to create our first edition of the magazine.

We are looking forward to reading your work. All submissions will be read blind by the staff. We hope to have the first edition published by the end of May. We promise to deliver to you “The Art You Need To Get You Through The Apocalypse.”

Thank you for your patience.

Sincerely,

Lucas Burkett, Generalissimo of SGT Magazine

Before the world ended in March of this year, Austin Veldman would message me sergeant memes on Facebook to motivate me to stick with creative writing and forgo arguing with idiots online.

In honor of Austin's persistence and his hilarious memes, I am starting an online literary arts magazine, SGT Magazine. This year has been rather bleak, obviously, and I want to take my quarantine energy and direct it towards something productive. SGT Magazine is currently accepting poetry, essays, short stories, comics, and pictures of art for our first publication. We are open for business.

SGT Magazine is looking to publish the art you need to get you through the apocalypse. Joyous and bleak, absurd and realistic, humorous and stern, SGT Magazine orders you to submit your poems, your artwork, your short stories, your secret cigarette breaks, your terrible jokes, your cries in the dark, your cartoons to Lucas at [email protected].

Submission guidelines
Poetry: Please submit 1-5 poems per submission.
Short Stories: Please submit one short story at a time, no longer than 10,000 words.
Essay: Please submit one essay at a time, no longer than 10,000 words.
Comics: Yes, we do accept comics. Unless it's hilarious, please, please, no superhero comic submissions.
Art: Who doesn't like art? Send us the snappiest pics of your artwork.
For all written work, please submit in .doc, .docx, or PDF.
Please attach a third-person biography with your submission as well.

The submission deadline is Dec 16th.
