Be Which Magazine Call for Art and Writing Submissions
Which Press is accepting short fiction pieces, poetry, essays, visual artwork, book and film reviews, commentary, and interviews for the inaugural edition of its bi-annual journal, titled Be Which Magazine. This high-quality format journal is structured to present multiple perspectives by authors and artists on their chosen subject. As such, we ask that each submission be a pair: of poems, stories, essays, photographs, or other visual artwork. Each dual-submission should bring out the complexity of an idea by showing it in two distinct lights.
Submission guidelines: As the editors of Be Which magazine realize that not all work may fit into the usual categories as listed below, we offer them as a general guide. We accept:
--Poetry (no form restrictions, length should be 3 pages or less per poem, please) --Short Fiction (length should be 12 pages or less per piece, please) --Short Non-Fiction (no subject or style restrictions; 12 pages or less, please) --Visual Art (photography, digital art, painting, collage, and drawing preferred; will consider other work if captured well by the submitting artist in 2-D format)
As noted, work must be submitted in pairs as a means to illustrate different perspectives. That may mean two poems or a poem and a collage that are related, for instance. Another option might be to modify one piece in a meaningful way to create a second, related piece. Two authors/artists may also co-submit work that is related.
Submissions will be evaluated on both the strength of the individual pieces, as well as the statement the two pieces make in cooperation (or perhaps conflict) with each other.
Send all work via email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Written work(s) should be pasted into the body of the email rather than sent as an attachment. If submitting visual art, please attach as jpg images (less than 3Mb) to the message. If your file is larger, or you wish to submit text as an attachment, we simply ask that you please contact us first.
Or, send work via US mail with appropriate SASE to: Submissions Editors Be Which Magazine PO Box 10159 San Jose, California 95157 Do not send originals of your artwork. Any work received without SASE will not be returned.
Submission deadline for Issue 1 is June 30 with publication scheduled for late Summer/early Fall. All contributing artists and writers will be given copies of the issue in which their work appears. Authors and artists accepted for publication give Which Press one-time only publication rights for their submitted material.
