About us

What is an Auteur? Simply put, an auteur is a creator. Someone with innate creativity and an ability to make those ideas a reality.

The writers, poets, artists, musicians, photographers, philosophers and innovators who open our minds to new possibilities and shake society to its foundations.

Always with a style, wit, and masterful flair that few others could achieve.

This magazine is dedicated to those people.

Founded in 2021’s pandemic chaos, Auteur Magazine hopes to bring together those brilliant young minds that have been cast to the wind by geography and fate.

By sharing their stories, showcasing their art, and publishing their work, we hope this platform will become a haven for young creators around the world, and more than that, a prominent voice for our radical generation.
