Outercast is an independent literary magazine based in Sweden that's not depending on commercial interests. We are small and we like it that way. Small is beautiful. We encourage participation in culture by all people in society who have an own voice and are not part of the status quo.
Reading a story should make you forget the whole world around you. Our magazine has a traditional format with no advertising. Reading from paper is a totally different experience than reading from your screen. However, we do use modern technology to achieve our goal.
We don't make any money for ourselves with Outercast. Everything goes to the production, promotion, authors and charity.
When we started until the point we are now, we have learned a lot. We had some unprecedented internet problems during the second issue, which resulted in a drop of readers. It's difficult to be 'out there' and getting attention in a commercially dominated society. We're an outcast, even more, we're Outercast.
Be real,
