SAGE Magazine seeks any combination of provocative, critical, beautiful, captivating work from emerging and established environmental writers and artists. We welcome pieces ranging from playful to pensive. Our throughline is to strengthen and explore the relationship between humanity and the environment.
SAGE welcomes environmentally related pieces, including personal essays, narrative journalism, poems, short stories, photo essays, and visual art. There is a maximum word count (see below). Simultaneous submissions are welcome, but please withdraw your submission if it is accepted elsewhere. Note that SAGE is not able to pay authors for their submissions except for the category & grand prize winners.
