About

The Miami Native is a new magazine in print and online. We publish three issues a year of serious writing about an unserious city. Our aim is to articulate the existential stakes of Miami for its locals and translate them for the Miami-curious elsewhere. We feature longform essays, profiles, reviews, fiction, poetry, and chisme (gossip), giving voice to the city’s sensibility as it inevitably evolves. Our pieces are always Miami-relevant, in spirit if not in content, and so are our writers.

Chisme

Chisme are two-hundred-word-or-fewer mentions about goings-on in Miami. Like the city itself, they can be sordid, sincere, or both.

Report to us with Local Characters, New Attachments, Old Wounds, Unspeakable Truths, Poorly-Kept Secrets, Premonitions, Parties, Winds of Change, Hotspots, Forgotten Spots, Scams, Schemes, Shocking Sights, Inside Scoops, Openings, Closings, Feuds, Thoughtful Reviews, Thoughtless Encounters, Favorite Brands, Objects of Desire…

Anonymity optional. Our favorite submissions will be featured in print.
