Welcome

Welcome to Amsterdam Quarterly’s original website. AQ was founded in April 2011 and its goal is to publish, promote, and comment on writing and art in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and the world. We hope you enjoy reading the work selected for this thirty-second issue (AQ32) and we look forward to your comments at editor@amsterdamquarterly.org or submissions at submissions@amsterdamquarterly.org. Please see the submissions page for the change in compensation to artists and writers for their work starting with AQ33 (spring 2022).

AQ32’s theme is The Future. Its work explores the worlds of science fact and fiction including art, fiction, news, a photoessay, photography, poetry, and reviews about subjects such as artificial intelligence, robots, medical scans, driverless cars, global climate change and extinction, space tourism, and interplanetary exploration, among others.

AQ’s 2022 themes are as follows: AQ33 (spring 2022) Flight, AQ34 (summer 2022) Holidays, and AQ35 (autumn 2022) City and/or Country. For AQ33, send work about your most daring escapes or memorable flights, both real and imagined. For AQ 34, send work inspired by your personal holiday/vacation experiences, or about a country’s unique customs and/or holidays. For AQ35, submit work about city and/or country life including new hybrid situations such as urban farming on city rooftops and working on rural wind or solar farms.
