            <description><![CDATA[This is a magazine about why we get so attached to art.

Take a comfort show, an indie film, a tight 12-track playlist (for a crush), and a character whose personality you adopted as your own. Add a few core memories, some close attachments, some strong smells, and you have the singular narrative of who you are.

_Love Interests_ wants to explore that narrative. We want to know everything about you. We publish the beloved, wretched, amusing, fantastical stories that remind us why we need art, and how we use it to make sense of our lives.

We’re a social-purpose publication. We host free arts and writing workshops in local communities, helping people spin the media that shaped them into creative works of their own, and publishing zines that preserve intergenerational neighbourhood stories. The strongest pieces jump from local editions into our main international issue. We also give back to the planet, because without a healthy world, there are no stories left to tell.

And we are still in our humble beginnings! If the work we do speaks to you, and you want to be part of it, say hi. We're friendly. [info@loveinterestsmagazine.com](mailto:info@loveinterestsmagazine.com)]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[**Note:** Submissions for our online magazine are always open to evergreen pieces. Starting this November, we're publishing quarterly themed print issues with limited submission windows. Submissions for our debut _Coming Attractions_ issue are currently open.


This is a submission guide for _Love Interests Magazine_ — and it's pretty simple — we want stories told through the medium of art, media, and pop culture. So maybe that's a memory you regale through its playlist, films permanently linked to your old friends and lovers, a show or character you feel a deep (perhaps even unhealthy) attachment to, or a book that is your soulmate. The form doesn't much matter — it could be an essay, poem, short story, review, or interview, the style just needs to be yours. We're not interested in anything academic or objectively critical. Whatever you're writing about, it should be what that thing means to _you_. 

So the guidelines are as follows:
- Not too long
- Not too short (at least 5 words please)
- Mixed-media permitted

**Send your pitch to**  [submit@loveinterestsmagazine.com](mailtto:submit@loveinterestsmagazine.com) / Please include a short bio and details on what you're submitting (or attach the finished piece as a .docx file).]]></description>
