VAGUE TOMES is a modern take on slow, considered journalism.

Powered by a global community of thought leaders and cultural producers, TOMES is a collection of stories and perspectives that prioritize quality over quantity. We don’t aim to publish 100 articles a day, overwhelming readers in an already-congested digital media landscape. Instead, we curate communal observations of the world around us, the creative industry our agency and members operate in, and the social spaces we occupy according to a breathable thematic editorial calendar that encourages introspection, connection, reinterpretation and dialogue.

This is the journal for writers and image makers who wish to know their audience, and vice versa.

Here’s how to get involved.

  • Pitch

    All VAGUE members have access to our community pitches form which syncs up directly with our editorial calendar. Here you’ll learn more about our categories, review our editorial segments and study our style guide to support your submission.

  • Request

    Not a member yet? Not to worry, some of our editorial segments are occasionally open for public submissions. These include interview requests, as well as our Black Man’s Letter series providing a safe space for Black male / masc people.

  • Discuss

    VAGUE members can join our Discord server, the VAGUE Assembly to receive updates from our editors upon submission and chat through your ideas with the rest of the community. For non-members, we’ll get back to you via e-mail.
