Road Writing Wanted for Next Issue of Midnight Mind Magazine
Deadline: November 3, 2025
Have a tale to tell from the wide-open roads of America? We are looking for nonfiction, essays, travel journals, fiction, and poetry that gives a point of view: Poetry that makes you want to drive, travel stories that put wind in our hair, essays about the good, or bad, of today’s road trip landscape. Is the American road trip dead? Do people still hitchhike? Does Kerouac still inspire? We want to explore car culture’s history, and the future of America’s limitations on the freedom that the road once promised. Is the promise dead? Or just different?
