Dialogue Submissions
(currently CLOSED)
Info & Guidelines
To foster the connectivity between different mediums of expression, we have opened submissions for written and visual art in response to instrumental music. Every few months, we will publish a Dialogue Starter Issue: this will be an original, contributor-provided piece of instrumental music. Writers and artists will have until the end of the month following the airdate to submit a brand new poem/story/illustration/etc. inspired by the music. The musical artist will choose his/her/their favorite(s) that we will publish in a future issue, thus furthering the dialogue. The editors will occasionally choose their favorite(s) to publish as well.
Please follow these guidelines specifically. All submissions should receive an automatic email reply to confirm that your submission made it to the right place. If you do not receive this automatic email, please double-check your submission (especially the subject line) and resubmit as necessary
