Thank you for submitting your art to Reed Magazine.

Reed Magazine seeks artwork that reverberates beyond the page, with imagery that lingers in the minds and challenges viewers to think. Our pages are open to a variety of media and styles. Artists may submit up to five (5) pieces of studio art, including photography, per submission.   

Reed Magazine policies and guidelines:

• Submission cap: Please limit your submission to our free categories to two (2) per person during each open reading period. There is no limit to the paid categories.
• Use of AI: Reed Magazine honors the complexity and diversity of human creativity. Submissions that appear to be the product of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools will be declined. However, if you have a piece that interrogates the use of AI, we welcome it. Reach out if you have questions on this.
• Formal-play and genre-blending work: We love and encourage work that is both formally and generically playful. If this describes your work and you’re unsure which category to submit it to, submit to the one it more closely aligns to. You can add an explanatory note in your cover letter if the context would help us in our consideration.
• Editorial process: Reed Magazine copy editors will review submissions accepted for publication to ensure consistency with our style conventions. 
• While we encourage simultaneous submissions from visual artists, we do not reprint previously published art featured in other literary journals (print or online publications). We do publish artwork featured online in an artist's web portfolio or displayed in a museum's (or other organization's) collection, as long as permission has been granted. We are open to considering work that has been published to socials or an artist’s website, though we may ask you to remove them for the one-year period in which we feature them. Please ensure that you withdraw your artwork immediately if it is selected for publication in another literary journal.

 Please be sure to:  

• provide a cover letter that includes your name, mailing address, phone number, and email address (but exclude this information from the works themselves)
• include a brief bio, up to 50 words
• include available art credits: title, medium, dimensions, year 
• render submissions in an easily accessible format, such as .jpg
• size submissions to at least 300 dpi 
• check that your Submittable profile is up-to-date

         General Art submissions may be considered for the cover. Submitters can expect to hear back from Reed Magazine by the end of December 20256
