Help us make beautiful weird stuff.
The Kismet Magazine is completely volunteer-run. As with many independent publications, this magazine is a labor of love.
The majority of our editorial staff are located in the Bloomington, Indiana, area, which allows us to both work remotely and foster an organizational community of support in person. We will consider applications from other locations, but preference will be given to those near South Central Indiana.
