About This Market
Harper's Magazine, the oldest general interest monthly in America, explores the issues that drive our national conversation through such celebrated features as Readings, Annotation, and Findings, as well as the iconic Harper's Index. With its emphasis on fine writing and original thought Harper's Magazine provides readers with a unique perspective on politics, society, the environment, and culture. The essays, fiction, and reporting in the magazine's pages come from promising new voices as well as some of the most distinguished names in American letters.
Some readers expect their magazines to clothe them with opinions in the way that Bloomingdale's dresses them for the opera. The readers of Harper's Magazine belong to a different crowd. They are the kind of people who would rather think in their own voices and come to their own conclusions.
Seeking Reports: public affairs, literary, international and local reporting, and humor; Essays: These should be construed as topical essays on all manner of subjects (politics, the arts, crime, business, etc.) to which the author can bring the force of passionate and informed statement; and Humor. No interviews or profiles.
Harper’s Magazine will neither consider nor return unsolicited nonfiction manuscripts that have not been preceded by a written query. No queries or manuscripts will be considered unless they are accompanied by a SASE.
