Submissions are now open for The Big Issue’s 18th annual Fiction Edition. Yes, we are having TWO fiction editions in the one year.

“Thank you for the support. At this time more than ever, we need your support from buying the magazine because of everything that’s happened with the lockdown. The financial support is very important.”

Our much-anticipated 17th annual Fiction Edition will hit the streets in February 2022.

“At the end of the day, I can buy my stuff. When I’m headed home from the shop sometimes you come out and there’s a homeless person and you can give them something. Without The Big Issue I wouldn’t be able to do that.”

“I like selling because it’s a bit of extra money in the pocket and I like getting out of the house. When we were in lockdown I was bored out of my brains!”

“I tend to recognise some faces, they don’t always buy but they smile at me if I’ve served them before. Lots of people walk past me with their dogs, sometimes a dog will try to jump up on me!”
