Introducing VEXT

VEXT is here to change that. We're a new magazine about culture and the people who create it. We cover what other places don’t: sex, drugs, shadow economies and whatever else emerges from the margins. We spotlight the artists, creators and activists who have something real to say, and we do it because no one else will.

Think deep dives into emerging online subcultures. Reports from underground movements that haven't hit your algorithm yet. Sociocultural commentary that sparks genuine conversation, even when it's contentious. Because VEXT is for the people who see culture happening before it gets sanitized for mass consumption — and those people are you.

The Ground Rules

1. No hate speech or discrimination. Period. Being edgy doesn't mean being an asshole.
2. Keep pitches to one paragraph. We'll read it, promise. And please, no triple emails — we see you the first time.
3. Original content only. No pre-written essays or previously published work. We want fresh perspectives, not leftovers.
4. We accept features, op-eds, and trend pieces focused on current sociocultural movements. Check our existing content to get a feel for what we're after.
5. Yes, we edit. Every accepted piece goes through our editorial process. It's not personal, but we want your voice to have every opportunity to come through effectively and clearly.
6. We're small but mighty. Our team is tiny and our budget modest, so we can't accept everything. But we read every pitch and will get back to you as soon as humanly possible.

Welcome to VEXT. Finally, something worth reading.
