Dialogue Submissions
(currently closed)

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. Below are the guidelines:

Music:

• Submit up to three (3)  instrumental songs in .mp3/.mp4/.wav format (you must own the copyrights for the music)
• Put “Dialogue Submission” somewhere in the subject line 
• Explicitly provide us permission to use your music for our podcast in your cover letter 
• Send all submissions to goldwalkmagATgmailDOTcom

Writing: 

• Submit only one (1) original poem/story/etc. inspired by the music
• Put "Dialogue Submission" somewhere in the subject line
• Write a few sentences explaining your process writing it (how did the music inspire you?) in your cover letter
• Send all submissions to goldwalkmagATgmailDOTcom

Visual Art:

• Submit only one (1) original painting/illustration/etc. inspired by the music
• Put "Dialogue Submission" somewhere in the subject line
• Write a few sentences explaining your process creating the art (how did the music inspire you?) in your cover letter
• Send all submissions to goldwalkmagATgmailDOTcom

A note: due to the audio nature of our magazine, we will publish any accepted visual art solely on the website and/or as the artwork for the podcast episode
