About Side B
Side B Magazine is a print magazine devoted to publishing unknown and underrepresented voices in the contemporary arts world. We believe that all people have the right to read, see, and hear stories that affirm their identity.
We have published four print issues, run an arts and culture blog, and are working on a forthcoming anthology for release in February 2012.

Fiona Kyle is a New Jersey native and graduate from Marymount Manhattan College in New York City with a B.A. in playwriting. Her poetry has appeared in Third Wednesday, Don’t Look Minizine, The Thing Magazine, and several college literary magazines.

Tia Mansouri recently graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Biology and Psychology and can be found prowling the museums, libraries, and bookstores of New York and Long Island. She reads, draws, writes, produces, photographs, compiles, analyzes, and dreams. She has produced award-winning newspaper issues and literary supplements, and has sworn to use her photoshop skills for the forces of hilarity and high art. Her main internet haunt is Aestival.net.
Becca Pollock is a sophomore at Emerson College pursuing a B.F.A. in writing, literature, and publishing, but she should consider getting a degree in advanced arts & crafts with dual minors in napping and eating. She is a reader for Stork Literary Magazine, a blogger for Emerson Fashion Society, and a French Bulldog enthusiast – though there is no school club for that. You can find her all over the internet under the pseudonym Sewin’ Hoe.
Arman Safa is a musician and author, a past DJ for KCSF Radio in San Francisco, and an apologist for lipograms. His incongruous disavowal of autobiographical forms accounts for his inability to satisfyingly author his own nonfictional account.
Alice Zheng is a student at Princeton University, where she is pursuing a B.S.E. in Computer Science. She works for the Princeton Student Design Agency and spends a tad too much time eating, cooking, baking, and thinking about food. One night she didn’t feel like cooking dinner and created something like a portfolio instead.
