VISUAL ART and PHOTOGRAPHY GUIDELINES
We are interested in both traditional and non-traditional forms of visual storytelling.
In addition to drawings, paintings, collages, and photographs, we enjoy narrative illustrations, comics, and mixed media narratives. Please follow our submission guidelines to aid our review and ensure the best outcome.
- Submission Quantity: Submit up to 6 pieces of visual art or photographs.
- Format: .jpg / .jpeg / .png / .pdf are preferred.
- An artist bio is required with each submission. In your cover letter, please mention your social media handles, if any (e.g., Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Threads) if you would like us to tag you in posts about your work. If you have a website dedicated to your art, please include that link as well.
- We are happy to review simultaneous submissions, but kindly notify us of your intent to do so. Or, if your work is accepted elsewhere, simply withdraw the submission from Submittable.
- By submitting your artwork, you confirm that it is your original creation and that you hold the necessary rights to publish it. We accept only unpublished art and photos that have never been published in another magazine, journal, book or anthology (either in print and digital). However, if you posted your art on your own social media, website or blogs, that is still acceptable.
- Once we have notified you of an acceptance, we will publish your work as a first-time publication with full credit given to you as the artist. All rights revert back to you upon publication, but please credit Cool Beans Lit as the first home of your work should it find another one later. Thank you.
Response Times:
We strive to respond to all submissions within 2-4 weeks. However, please understand that the review process can take longer during busy periods. We appreciate your patience.
We cannot wait to review your art and appreciate your sharing it with us. Thank you for your interest in our publication.
