Submit Your Work

On this page, you'll find everything you need to submit your work to either our Articles or Merken Apostrophe.

As a value of Merken Magazine, we see sharing not as exposure, but as an act of meaning and exchange, either personal, linguistic, cultural, or any shape of form. To share work is to place lived experience into dialogue, allowing individual voices to meet others with openness and care. In this exchange, creative or intellectual expression becomes a way of listening as much as speaking, gently expanding understanding beyond a single perspective.

Yet this exchange only becomes whole when people recognise the value of offering their voice to others, and here comes your role. Submitting your work means becoming part of a community that respects authorship, values transparency, and approaches each contribution with attention, intention, and care, beautifully adding to the archive of the collective memory.

Through Apostrophe and our Articles, we hold space for artists and writers to share their work thoughtfully and without pressure. The pieces we publish invite reflection, encourage conversation, and connect personal experience to wider cultural realities.

Ready to share your work? This is your invitation to express, connect, and be seen. We welcome submissions across writing, visual art, creative projects, and beyond. Your work may be featured on Apostrophe, the Articles page, or in a future issue of the Magazine.

If you have something to say, show, express, or imagine, we’d love to see it. Send your work to submit@merkenmagazine.com, along with any relevant details about the piece and yourself. Please review the information below for more details.
