Got something to say, create, or unmask?

We want to hear from you.

NEUROISSUE is built by and for minds that think differently—writers, artists, photographers, stylists, and anyone exploring the intersections of identity, culture, and consciousness.

If your work makes people feel, question, or see the world from a new perspective, this is your space.

What We’re Looking For

  • Pitches for written work are always open — and we’re currently accepting submissions for Issue 1: Different by Design and for the online magazine.

    We’re looking for:

    • Arts and culture deep dives

    • Personal essays on identity, creativity, or neurodivergence

    • Features exploring representation, consciousness, and the internet age

    • Critical or reflective pieces on pop culture and modern life

    When pitching, please ensure your topic hasn’t already been covered in NEUROISSUE.

    We accept fleshed-out pitches or completed work, but please include a short introduction about yourself.

    All work must be unpublished and exclusive to NEUROISSUE.

    Submission requirements:

    1. A short synopsis of your idea (1 paragraph)

    2. Why you’re the best person to tell this story

    3. 1–2 examples of previous writing (links or PDF if applicable)

    4. Social links or website (optional)

    If submitting a complete piece:

    • Minimum: 800 words

    • Maximum: 1,200 words

    • Submit as a Google Doc or PDF attachment (no Dropbox or WeTransfer links)

    Send to editor@neuroissue.com

    Subject line: “Writing Submission — [Title or Topic]”

    We prioritise work that features underrepresented groups and celebrates diverse perspectives, bodies, and identities.

    All photography submissions must be unpublished and exclusive to NEUROISSUE.

    Submission requirements:

    • Editorial pitch deck or completed visuals

    • Minimum: 10 final images per editorial

    Accepted formats: Google Drive link or PDF preview (no Dropbox or WeTransfer)

    Subject line: “Editorial Submission — [Title or Concept]”

What Happens Next

We review pitches on a rolling basis and aim to respond within 2–3 weeks.

Due to the volume of submissions, we might not be able to reply to every email—but we truly read and appreciate every one.

Please Note

We’re an independent publication currently in our growth stage. At this time, contributions will be unpaid, but all credited work is celebrated and promoted across our platforms.

As we expand, we’re committed to building paid opportunities for our contributors.

Join the Movement

NEUROISSUE is more than a magazine; it’s a creative home for different minds.

If you think your story belongs here, it probably does.

  • Outside of themed issues, NEUROISSUE accepts rolling submissions for our online magazine.

    We’re interested in shorter creative pieces, reflective essays, and visuals that explore identity, art, culture, or neurodivergent experiences.

    Use subject line: “Online Submission — [Title or Topic]”

Please email your pitch to editor@neuroissue.com with the subject line:

“Pitch: [Your Title or Topic]”

Include:

  1. A short summary (2–3 lines) of your idea or story

  2. A brief bio (and social links if relevant)

  3. Any visual references or previous work (if applicable)

If you’re submitting photography, illustration, or multimedia, please attach low-res previews or a link to your portfolio/drive folder.

We publish features, essays, interviews, visual stories, and creative pieces that explore:

  • Neurodivergence, mental health, and lived experience

  • Identity, race, and representation in modern culture

  • Art, fashion, and self-expression as storytelling

  • The intersection of creativity, consciousness, and community

  • Anything that challenges how we see the world

You don’t need to have been published before—just bring your voice, your vision, and your point of view.
