When do you accept publications?

 

We are an online-exclusive publication that accepts submissions 4 times per year. We release 1 digital issue per season. We also host monthly poetry prompts through our Instagram page. The most captivating images, photos, or poems will be reposted on social media and added to the blog on our website.

 

How do I submit to Gossamer Arts?

 

Send us up to five pieces of art, photography, or poetry to gossamerpoetics@gmail.com The subject line must reveal your genre and intended issue. For example, “Photography Submission - Issue 2.” Please include a brief description of your work along with a short third-person bio. For poetry submissions, we prefer pdf attachments but also accept .odt, .rtf, and .txt submissions. For art and photography, send your work in .pdf, .png, or .jpeg attachments. If chosen for publication, we request high-resolution images. We do not accept previously published work of any kind. Please submit only five combined pieces per issue.

 

Do you charge a submission fee?

Issue 1 is free of charge. Starting with issue 2, we will charge a $5 fee for each quarterly submission.

​

When will I know if my work has been accepted for publication?

​

You will receive an email confirming your submission. From that point forward, we ask for 4-6 weeks to thoroughly read and review your work. To request feedback in 7 days and/or detailed commentary regarding your submission, we charge a $3 reading fee.
