Though the written word has its own advantages, film provides a visual, atmospheric landscape. We are also intrigued by how color and cinematography can alter the emotional resonance and mood of a scene. With the short film, we are interested in the immediacy of it, the innate tension that comes with telling a story with brevity. Each medium of fiction-novels, films, television shows, podcasts, audiobooks, video games-has their own unique narrative strategies at their disposal.

On the flipside, Suburbia is meant to also represent the positive aspects of the term: our community, inclusion, expansion, and shelter. We want explorations, especially, from underrepresented writers and voices like BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ and gender-fluid individuals, the houseless, the incarcerated-all those who have been disallowed, punished, or been devastated by the grotesquery of the status quo, the bottom line, the privilege and the desecrations of our environments (whatever that means to you). Who Are We Now? Suburbia wants to peel back the façades and expose the gross, absurd realities lurking behind the Suburban-Capitalist “Utopia," the smiling Nuclear Family, the “normal neighborhood” and the straight, happy, white, home-owning, monogamously homogenous molds boxing us in. We're incredibly excited to share this new vision of our magazine with you.

Suburbia Journal is an Arizona-based literary magazine founded by Miranda Williams and Nathaniel Buckingham. ![]()
