SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

• 1 to 3 poems, each on a new page, as a .pdf or .doc/.docx file (max. 6 pages)
• 1 to 2 fiction or nonfiction pieces (maximum of 4,000 words) each on a new page, as a .pdf or .doc/.docx file
• 1 to 4 pieces of visual art as separate .jpeg or .png files
  • Attaching alt-text is appreciated (if doing so, use a .pdf, .doc/.docx, or .txt file), however we are also willing to work with you to create alt-text.

We cannot pay artists at this time. If this changes, we will announce it as soon as possible.

No AI-created works. No discriminatory, gory, or excessively sexual content. When in doubt, submit your work with content warnings. Our editor-in-chief loves writing about intimacy, but there is a limit! Gory and excessively macabre works are especially hard sells for our editor-in-chief.

We do accept previously published pieces, but only if you have permission from the previous publisher. Specify this in your cover letter. We also allow pieces from Artists from Maryland to be published elsewhere after the fact, with credit!

We do accept simultaneous submissions. Specify this in your cover letter, and notify us immediately if part of your submission is accepted elsewhere so we can congratulate you.

We request the nonexclusive rights to publish your works with us. Artists maintain the right to republish the work they publish with us, elsewhere, after our publication.

Submissions are currently ROLLING, OPEN, for Maryland Artist of the Month features.
