Up to seven pages. Keep in mind that the journal's dimensions are smaller (5"x7") than the average literary journal and so comics with small panels filled with intricate art are not well-suited.

Additional info
Saw Palm is a Florida-themed journal; however, we welcome writers and artists from across the country and the globe as long as the work is connected to Florida (via images, people, themes, etc.). We also welcome creative works from Floridians that are not obviously about someplace else. Copies. Contributors receive two copies of the issue they appear in. Send only one submission at a time per genre. If you have a pending submission, please wait for a response before submitting again.
