ARTWIFE exists to serve as an oasis of beauty, art, and human expression.


ARTWIFE Magazine is a literary arts journal created by Hannah and Erica Harlee.

We publish essays, short stories, visual art, and video art.

ARTWIFE exists to serve as an oasis of beauty, art, and human expression. Rather than maintain the distance and cold remove embedded in the operations of many lit mags, we actively work to forge connection and cultivate relationships with our readers, submitters, and contributors through avenues like our Contributor Spotlight podcast episodes, our Community Announcements, and our weekly Creative Hour.

ARTWIFE believes that a magazine's digital platform deserves attention and care, and that design and presentation are not secondary to the vision. Rather, we believe that beauty and artistry can and should be embedded in every part of the project.

We pay contributors $20 per publication. So that we may pay our contributors, ARTWIFE places a cap on the number of free submissions we receive. A limited number of free submission slots becomes available at the beginning of each submission period. Once the cap of free submissions has been reached, the option to submit via a $5 reading fee remains available through the rest of the submissions period.

ARTWIFE

ARTWIFE Magazine invites unsolicited submissions of literary art, visual art, and video art through our Submittable platform. We do not accept poetry submissions.

Review the following guidelines carefully. If your work does not meet the criteria listed here, it will be automatically declined.

Visual Art
You may submit up to 5 original images in a single submission. If we like your work, but none of the 5 images are right for us, we may ask to see more from your portfolio. Please upload well-shot, high-quality photos of your work. If we like your work but the images are uneven at the borders, or have unintentional glares or shadows, they will not be published. To get an understanding of the type of work we publish, view samples here, here, and here.

Video Art
You may submit 1 original video up to 4 minutes long. Videos may be narrative-driven, but don’t have to be. To get an understanding of the type of work we publish, view a sample here.

You may have ONE active submission per category at the same time. (For instance, you might submit one short story and one video.) However, you may not submit more than once in a single category. Please wait until we have made a decision on your work before submitting again in the same category. If you have more than one active submission in a single category at the same time, all work will be automatically declined without review. We do not give feedback on declined work.
 
We accept simultaneous submissions. If your work is accepted elsewhere, please immediately withdraw it from our consideration through your Submittable account. If we make the first decision to accept your work, please immediately withdraw that piece from other outlets where it's being considered.
 
Work selected for publication in the magazine receives a $20 honorarium. If your work is accepted for publication, you must provide us with your Venmo or PayPal handle within 7 days of acceptance to be eligible to receive payment. No payments will be processed after 7 days of acceptance. ARTWIFE maintains one-time publication rights, after which all rights revert back to the creator.  

In order to pay contributors, we place a cap on the number of free submissions we receive during each submissions period. Free submissions become available at the beginning of each open period (i.e., on Jan 1, April 1, July 1, and Oct 1.). The free submission option will automatically close when the cap has been reached.
 
Please note that it can take us anywhere from several weeks to a few months to reach a decision (unless you've chosen an Expedited Response option, in which case you'll hear from us within 14 days). Submitting to our magazine adds you to our monthly newsletter. You may unsubscribe any time.
