Variance aims to deliver readers with content they love and demand. Our focus is on the sights and sounds you love and the creative culture around you. That means readers directly influence or create most of the content in Variance (website and the magazine).

Sights and Sounds You Love: This includes music, film, television, books, and any form of art or media you can see or hear. Our goal is to continually spotlight the sights and sounds that are important to YOU--not some other media outlet.

Creative Culture Around You: This is exactly what it is. From groundbreaking new tech startups to underdog organizations using clever marketing techniques, there are countless examples of creativity in our culture today. Why is your favorite music venue so great? What's the story behind the latest YouTube sensation? We know there are many untold stories and we want to tell them! Or better yet, we want YOU to tell them! 

Variance controls all content but we accept submissions on relevant topics for publication. If you are interested in writing about any of the previously mentioned topics for the website or the magazine, please email a Word document (700 words max) to info@variancemagazine.com. Be sure to include Web address(es) for examples of previous work and a one sentence bio with a URL for social networking site or blog (to be included with article). If you simply have a question about submissions or topics, you may use the form below.
Submissions to Variance are on a donation basis, although you will receive proper credit (as stated above). By submitting content you agree to those terms and conditions. Please double-check spelling and grammar before submitting. All articles are edited for length, grammar, content, style and tone. (Refer to our Style Guide for guidelines before submitting.)

If you are not contacted within six weeks of submission, please assume we will not be using your provided content.
