We are currently accepting submissions. These may be on any topic, and in any genre of non-fiction or fiction, but must in some way reflect the spirit of The Hinternet, while also being entirely sui generis with respect to authorial voice — a difficult and almost paradoxical thing to pull off, admittedly. We strongly recommend that would-be submitters first gain intimate familiarity with the sort of work we do here. Unless otherwise negotiated, we pay $500 US for published submissions. Response time from our editorial team may be slow.
We accept and strongly encourage submissions in French, German, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and Turkish. If a piece in one of these language is accepted, it will be published simultaneously in the original and in English translation.
We are also always in search of interesting guests for the “Hinternet Symposion” podcast. If you know something few others do, and know how to talk about it compellingly, drop us a line.
Here’s what some people are saying about The Hinternet:
“Justin Smith-Ruiu has written himself into the stratosphere.” —Kevin La Torre, “The 6,069 Fictions of Justin Smith-Ruiu”
“The Hinternet is one of the few intellectual endeavors that seems fully and constantly alive to the seismic epistemological implications of the present: the internet, the end of the postwar international (and institutional) framework... The point... is to open up new ways of engaging with the intellectual tradition, new ways of making it live and matter. It’s Machiavelli putting on his toga and cosplaying as a Roman to read Livy, Donne publishing joke Latin library catalogues, Bruno doing basically anything. Very curious to watch where this will go.” —Julianne Werlin, Life and Letters
“The Internet left a hole in our culture the size of the Yucatán crater. The Hinternet is filling it back in, with matter as hot and dense as the core of a neutron star.” —Hélène Le Goff, Managing Editor, The Hinternet
“Just a deep and lovely read.” —Nick Cave
“Delightful.” —Galen Strawson
“I really love the newsletter.” —Ezra Klein
“My subscription to your Substack has proved one of the most enjoyable and enchanting adventures to have befallen me lately.” —Stephen Fry
“I think you are cracking something open… that the entire culture is bashing its head against right now trying to solve. Thank you for this and please keep going.” —Kristen Roupenian
