Adi Magazine

What this publication wants

This is BRYME's summary of the publication's focus — not a copy of their website. Type of writing: Essays. Official guideline: Adi Magazine guidelines.

Topics, themes and styles they look for

• Essays, when the window reopens on 1 October 2026. Adi publishes nonfiction (essays, interviews, reportage) as part of a literary magazine of global politics.
• Interviews and translations are also listed as reopening 1 October 2026.
• Fiction is listed separately: closed, reopening 8–30 November 2026 on Submittable, with official rates $500 (up to 5,000 words) and $200 (flash under 1,000 words). That is not this card.

Subjects they avoid

• Do not submit essays during the June–September 2026 staff break. The official page says they will not be able to reply.
• AI-generated submissions or pitches.
• Work previously published in English.
• More than one Adi submission at a time.

Key requirements

• Wait until 1 October 2026
• Re-read https://adimagazine.com/submissions/ before pitching — the method may be restated when the window opens

Who can submit

The official submissions page does not list countries. Do not treat that silence as a closed list or as a guaranteed worldwide call.

Rights

Adi acquires first exclusive, world English-language publication rights. Copyright remains with the author.

How to write for them

Official requirement: always follow the publication's own guideline exactly.

BRYME's practical advice: write for the publication's audience, use a clear structure, keep paragraphs short, lead with a specific angle, and confirm the word count before submitting. These are practical suggestions — they are not the publication's official rules.

How to pitch

Where a pitch is required, this is the general pattern BRYME recommends — always adapt it to the publication's guideline.

1. Research the publication and read several recent pieces.
2. Choose a specific idea that fits their beat and audience.
3. Write a concise subject line naming your idea.
4. Introduce yourself in one or two lines (who you are, where you publish).
5. Explain the proposed piece in a short paragraph — angle, structure, length.
6. Say why it fits this publication.
7. Include 2–3 relevant clips or links.
8. Close professionally and thank them for their time.
9. Send through the official channel only.

What happens after submission

Expected response: Not publicly stated

If the publication does not state a response time, BRYME records that it is unknown. A follow-up is generally reasonable after a couple of weeks; if there is still no response, treat that as a likely non-acceptance rather than a rejection. Acceptance is normally communicated by the publication. If they accept, they will tell you exactly how to submit the final piece and, for most, how and when payment is made.
