Three people, one man and two women, stood outside at night holding champagne toasting glasses to celebrate the new year.

Say hi to our publisher, fiction editor, and non-fiction editor @gautampk.com, @hilaryfloon.bsky.social and @anitamchandran.bsky.social. They were ringing in the new year together and raising a glass to the publication of Tamarind’s latest issue.

Happy new year from team

The climate for #literary #magazines is not easy, so we appreciate all the support you can give us - even if that's just weighing in to say hi! We are proud of what we do, and believe now more than ever it's important for scientists and artists to talk to one another.

Send any questions our way :)

Our issues are available in print and digital tamarindlit.co.uk/buy/ and our 7th issue is expected in December. We're so excited to share it with you. Copies are £5 digital and £9 print. We ship internationally (globally).

Issue six cover of Tamarind Literary Magazine. An illustration of a person being pulled into the deep by red tentacles.

In the four years we've been alive, we've had the privilege of working with incredible writers, journalists, essayists and illustrators. We've also interviewed some very powerful voices in science writing, including Booker nominees Benjamin Labatut and Martin Macinnes.

We are a small, non-profit journal publishing two print issues a year. We're open for submissions for our 8th issue, and are accepting fiction, creative non-fiction, essays and poetry surrounding science. We pay royalties! Find out about subs here:

Short reintroduction for all the new folks! We're Tamarind, a non-profit #litmag publishing writing that considers science, scientists and the interaction of science and society. We believe in interrogating the plastic boundary between art and science.

If you're looking for speculative fiction publications (podcasts, zines, publishers) here on Bluesky, I have two starter packs and I keep adding to these, so you might want to check in occasionally for updated lists!

Introduce yourself with three books you love:

Reproduction (Louisa Hall)
When We Cease to Understand the World (Benjamin Labatut)
In Ascension (Martin MacInnes)

Honestly, we can’t really choose, so we’ve gone for books written by some of our interviewees from past issues (there are many others).

wow it really is just nicer to be over here isn’t it

Tamarind #6 is available in print (£9) or digital (£5) at tamarindlit.co.uk/buy/! We look at the overlap between the arts and sciences. Our eds don’t get paid but every purchase helps our contributors & supports a mission we believe is more important now than ever before.
