Readers who want to see their drawings featured in The Magazine can submit their work through the dedicated submission path described on the site. The Magazine values diverse visual art, from quick sketches to fully developed paintings, as well as a wide range of writing, including short fiction, poetry, essays, and other creative talents that reveal a distinctive voice. Creators from Canada and the United States are invited to participate, and submissions from artists with different backgrounds and styles are encouraged. A panel of editors reviews each submission, looking for originality, clarity, emotional resonance, and the ability to engage readers across disciplines. The submission journey is straightforward: creators prepare their strongest piece, add a concise caption or description that provides context, and share any relevant notes that help editors understand the work’s intent. For visual art, high-resolution images are preferred, with appropriate margins, color accuracy, and a size that fits the magazine’s layout; for writing, manuscripts should be clean and readable, clearly labeled with the title and word count, and provided in widely supported formats. The magazine favors consistent presentation, so submitters should follow the described file types, naming conventions, and any requested descriptive material such as a short bio or a brief note about the piece’s inspiration. When a piece is accepted, creators typically retain ownership while granting The Magazine a first publication right and a non-exclusive license to publish online and in print for the current issue and possible future editions; editors outline any remaining rights and potential republication scenarios, and all terms are communicated clearly before publication. Submissions should include a brief author bio that highlights background and relevant experience, and a few lines about the work’s genesis, context, or purpose. The process respects privacy and originality, and submissions are treated with care and fairness. Creators are asked to ensure the work is their own and to avoid sending oversized files or material that could delay production. The Magazine aims to provide timely decisions and concise feedback where possible, with transparent timelines so authors know when to expect results. For regular contributors, developing a coherent portfolio that demonstrates range, growth, and a unique perspective is welcomed. Submitting does not guarantee publication, but it opens a clear channel to reach readers in Canada and the United States, join a supportive creative community, and raise visibility for new and established talents alike. The submission portal is designed to be accessible across devices, with easy-to-follow steps and checks that help streamline the process; creators should prepare their submissions with care, knowing that first impressions—presentation, clarity, and professionalism—often influence editorial decisions. The Magazine recognizes how personal and expressive creative work can be, and it strives to provide a respectful, welcoming space that upholds high standards while celebrating the diverse voices that shape contemporary art and writing.
