Click on Themes to get a complete list of upcoming themes. We are glad for the opportunity to discuss illustrative needs with artists. We often need illustrations to accompany the fiction, poetry, articles, interviews, essays, memoirs, and reviews in the magazine. We also occasionally include photos, cartoons, and drawings that relate independently to the theme, and like to include photo essays. Illustrations in the magazine are black and white.
Line drawings work best.
Work may be cropped or reduced to fit. All work considered for front covers must be in a vertical format, with the final print size at 8.5 x 11 inches. Back cover photographs can be horizontal or vertical and usually print less than seven inches in width and five inches in height. Send good, clear photocopies of proposed illustrations or photographs pertaining to a particular theme for independent publication. In your cover letter, please specify the upcoming theme or themes you have in mind for your submission.
