NEXT
theFstate Magazine is looking for writers, journalist and critics, cultural observers, and creative thinkers who can help people better understand fashion, identity, business, media, art and the forces shaping culture.
We need perspective, truth, context and reporting that moves culture forward.
theFstate Magazine publishes stories that examine how identity influences opportunity, authority, visibility, creativity and belonging. We are interested in original ideas not recycled commentary, empty promotion, or trend-chasing.
Your writing should help readers see something more clearly, question what they have accepted, or understand the people and ideas shaping their world.
