De Minimis Magazine is an online publication on Medium that seeks to highlight and glorify rejection in its various forms. This includes spotlighting overlooked stories that have been rejected elsewhere, sharing stories about rejection and uplifting underrepresented writers who have faced rejection.
Originating from the Latin expression De Minimis - which is most commonly found in law and ultimately translates to describe something seen as too trivial or minor to merit consideration - De Minimis Magazine celebrates the trivial. For us, nothing is too trivial. We exist as a space for those rejected, overlooked or untold stories that are in need of a home. Think of us like a safety cushion — if you have a story stuck in the vast depths of your hard drive, waiting to be published, we want it!
So, join us as a Contributing Writer!
We would so appreciate if you would submit a story for publication. It could be fiction, non-fiction, short story, engaging personal essay. If it hasn't been published elsewhere - and if it's been rejected, sitting dejectedly on your hard drive, or better yet, is a rejected story about rejection, then we want in!

Please note: While we don’t directly compensate writers, we encourage contributors to publish their stories through Medium’s Paywall Program. After all, we want you to get paid for your work, so that you can treat yourself to a coffee, and we will work to promote your story so that you may earn more.
