we do not ask for cover letters, and we do not read your author bio until after we read your work. what we care about is the writing you submit to our mag.

i created underscore_magazine because the city is my muse, and i never saw that represented in the literary world. i saw so many odes to pastoral views and not enough odes to subway scenes. so i decided to create a space for writers who are inspired by cities.
