A serious magazine about an unserious city.
A serious magazine about an unserious city.
The Miami Native is a new magazine in print and online. We publish 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.
