SUBMISSIONS

Please submit all work here.

Send us a pitch, regardless if you will be submitting completed work.

Pitches will need to include a brief description of your prospective or completed work, including your medium and any relevant links for reference.

Once we have received your pitch, we will review it and reply within 1-3 weeks. 

If your pitch is accepted, you will receive feedback, a deadline, and a word count.

Whenever your work is referenced by our collateral platforms (i.e. Instagram), we will always credit you.
