Vision? Nary! Mission Statement

Vision? Nary! is a humor/satire magazine, publishing essays, fiction, cartoons and other like content. It also covers unpopular culture. Take that as you will.

The original tagline was:

“The journal that espouses nothing, and therefore espouses something.”

The modern tagline is:

“Satire, Unpop Culture, Freethought for Freethinkers | Hedonism, Heresy, Radical Philology”

Our mission statement is the gloriously confusing:

“A thought-provoking and august journal of socio-political views and strategic planning, open to skilled free-lancers and professional journalists alike; featuring nude and semi-nude photos of men and women engaged actively in socio-political or neo-patrician thought.”

Or this bastardized statement we lifted from The Masses:

“A Revolutionary and not a Reform Magazine; A Magazine with a Sense of Humor and no Respect for the Respectable; Frank, Arrogant, Impertinent, searching for the True Causes; A Magazine directed Against Rigidity and Dogma wherever it is Found.”

It is irregular- just like you.

WAIT.                     If selected, you will be IN.

We will welcome you into our bizarre love cult.

The following is a short diatribe about how to keep the editor happy. The editor compiles this section and then judges submissions accordingly. We call this section:

Pay Attention, This Means YOU.

What we publish

VN is published as a weblog and as a print magazine. Originally printed on newsprint it is now a paperback book. We accept content for both web and print.

We like you to have your own voice.

Please do not be overly topical. Thanks.

Formatting

We can take your submission via e-mail, plain text, with a blank line separating the paragraphs. This is important for our feeble eyesight. A blind editor is of no use to anyone, only satisfying our affirmative action needs.

Do not send your submission as an attachment, but as the body of the message (see above). We only accept attached files from regular contributors.

Artwork

We like art. Send a JPG or PNG for the look-see.

Your info

Be sure to send your contact info, and how you prefer to have your name spelled. There are many ways to spell, and we know them all.

Rights

We only take one-time rights. You send, we accept, we publish. YOU retain your copyright. This is as it should be. Beware people who take your copyright.

Payment

Sadly, we are not able to offer payment at this time, but we are working on it.
