LOST Magazine is an online monthly magazine that combines elements of many other literary, online, and national magazines with a singular mission -- to reclaim in writing lost people, places, and things.

LOST publishes on the first Monday of each month, and in each issue, LOST publishes:

1. five works of short personal or narrative nonfiction (500 words or less) in a section called "Departments."
   
   
2. three works of mid-length nonfiction (2500 words or less), presenting a lost person, a lost place, and a lost thing. These works are "obituaries in prose" of the person, place, and thing, and LOST strives to publish pieces on both the significant and obvious and the insignificant and obscure.
   
   
3. a long, serious nonfiction cover feature (10,000 words or less), which may be an original work or a serial or excerpt from a published or forthcoming book of nonfiction. Art or a photograph will accompany the feature.
   
   
4. a fiction feature, selected and edited by a rotating guest fiction editor (editors have been Peter Orner and Robley Wilson). Each story may have an obvious or an abstract connection to the theme of loss, and art or a photograph will accompany the feature.

LOST's focus is both definite and infinite, and guided by an overarching ideal of commemoration. LOST will publish theme issues periodically. LOST features a rotating guest fiction editor of whom you may or may not have heard. LOST hopes to publish a print collection of its most lost pieces each year. LOST sponsors events that may include readings of work from LOST, readings inspired by LOST, or examples of other kinds of art that have something to do with lost people, places, and/or things. LOST seeks to publish both established and emerging writers and both solicits submissions and accepts unsolicited submissions.

Lose yourself; come get LOST.
