Where are the Tin House offices located?
The main office is in northwest Portland, Oregon. The magazine is actually named after the office building in Portland, which is an old Victorian with corrugated zinc siding and is known in the neighborhood as "the tin house." The East Coast office is in Brooklyn.
Which office handles what?
The Portland office deals with advertising, distribution, promotion, back-issue sales, editorial, submission guidelines, unsolicited and solicited manuscripts, art direction, contracts, photo acquisition, and general inquiries. The New York office deals with solicited manuscripts, editorial, promotion and local distribution.

Do you read unsolicited manuscripts all year long?
No, only September to May. (See "submission guidelines" for specifics.)
Who decides what goes in the magazine?
It's a democratic process that starts with a small group of readers (most of them are based in Portland) who read everything and pass on the most appropriate work to the editors in both offices. After much discussion, the editors vote to either run the story, hold it, or pass on it. In general, majority rules, but passion counts for a lot.
