Dialogue Submissions
(currently CLOSED)
Golden Walkman seeks and will prioritize work from underrepresented voices. If you belong to a group that is underrepresented, please make a note of this in your cover letter
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:

Visual Art:
- Submit up to three (3) instrumental songs in .mp3/.mp4/.wav format (you must own the copyrights for the music)
