Fine Art Submission Guidelines

We don't publish as much visual art as we'd like. The innards of the journal are printed in black and white. That leaves the front and back covers for color work. But send us your stuff anyway. We're particularly interested in visual art that has aspects of the narrative in it, or that use surrealist and/or post-modern techniques.

General Guidelines: Address all manuscripts to proper editor (by genre) and to the address below. Include a self addressed, 37-cent stamped, #10 envelope (SASE) for response. No reply will be given via email or postcard. Send only recyclable copies of your manuscript, as we are not responsible for the safe return of originals and discard all unused submissions.

Cover Letter: All submissions should be accompanied by a cover letter that somehow includes the author's name, titles of all pieces submitted, and a brief biographical statement.

Artwork: We are looking to publish work of all styles. We are looking for cool/strange/smart photography, paintings, and drawings. Work may be color or black and white. However, the interior of our print issues reproduces only in black and white.

We are not responsible for the safety and return of originals, and strongly discourage their submission.

Submit up to 10 high quality slides. One may also submit high-quality printed reproductions (8 1/2x11"). Artist, Title of Work, Medium, and Date, should all be clearly labeled on each slide, or affixed to the back of each print. Prints must be submitted flat, unfolded, in a manila envelope. Include proper postage and packaging for return of your work. Currently no unsolicited digital submissions are accepted.

Full submission guidelines, all genres.
