Somesuch Stories is an annual print magazine that offers unique perspectives on current cultural, natural, sexual, spiritual, identity, and social experiences. It exists to champion distinctive voices, to arouse curiosity, to deepen our understanding of our fellow humans, and — importantly — to entertain. The magazine occupies a space that is literary without being academic, personal without being confessional, and culturally engaged without being preachy.
The annual rhythm gives each issue the weight of an anthology — a curated collection of writing and imagery that is designed to last a full year on a reader's shelf rather than a single afternoon on a coffee table. The contributors bring perspectives that are specific, unexpected, and often uncomfortably honest about the messier aspects of human experience.
Somesuch Stories understands that the best magazines are the ones that make you feel less alone — not by telling you what to think but by showing you that other people are thinking about the same things, often in ways you had not considered.
