Photography and Art
Size limit: 5 samples
We look for art and photography to accompany written work in the magazine, and we also publish art and photo essays with text by the artist.You may attach up to 5 samples and should include a link to your online portfolio in the cover letter.
While we regularly publish comix and photo essays, the majority of our artwork is to accompany written pieces. This means that artwork is usually kept on file until it can be matched with a written piece, and as a result response times can exceed six months.
