Quick refresher on work suitable for submission:
TYPE: Pretty simple idea here; poems, short stories, serial stories that are used over several issues, essays, fiction and/or non-fiction work. This section will be theme based. If you are interested in writing a serial, please contact us for more information.
WEAR: The fashion section, both visual and written work; photos, photo essays, single photos, b/w, color, etc. Written work based on fashion, designers, local, regional, international. This section is not theme based; however, if you can pull off a theme based creation within this category you’ll get a gold star!
SEE: Anything visual; including photos, photos essays, single photos, b/w, color, etc. (high resolution, please!), graphics, illustrations, paintings, prints, you name it. This section will be theme based.
HEAR: The music section, again, both visual and written work; photos, photo essays, single photos, b/w, color, etc. Written work based on music. Reviews, previews on albums, shows you attend, your own creations, etc. This section is not theme based, but if you can pull off a theme based creation within this category you’ll get one more gold star!
Also, please remember our word count limit. Because we can’t have people going gang-busters and submitting small novellas or a ton of photos in essay form, we must put a cap on our submissions. messymagazine has a 2,500 word count for written work and an 8 image limit on visual submissions. You can, however, submit as many times as you wish. If you are planning to submit a serial story, again, please contact us for further information.
Also, there are a few other things that need to be addressed:
1. You do not need to live in Cleveland in order to submit. messymagazine and its founders call Cleveland home and enjoy the city, but that does not mean that you, out-of-towner, will have your work excluded. messy magazine is open to all.
2. All work does not need to be theme related. The more the better for the literary and art section, but if you have anything else you wish to contribute please do so.
3. In regards to visual work. If you are submitting photos, please keep resolution in mind. Only high resolution (300dpi) will be accepted. If you are submitting visual work that is not a photograph, but instead a painting, sketch, or 3-D creation; please contact us for assistance in scanning or acquiring a mailing address.
