Submission Guidelines

TANGENT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Tangent Literary Arts Magazine accepts submissions from writers and artists of all ages, locations and backgrounds. Submissions can be sent as an attachment to tangentmagazine@aol.com. Please include your full name, a brief bio (max. 150 words) and an email address we can reach you at.

We accept previously unpublished poetry, prose, artwork and photography. We do not have restrictions on content (save the porn for Penthouse Forum though. That's not really our thing). Artists and writers can (and are encouraged to) submit more than once each year, and we may publish your work in more than one issue.

ARTWORK & PHOTOGRAPHY:We accept submissions of color and b&w art and photography. We ask that you submit each photograph as a separate .jpg file attachment along with the name of the photograph. We will accept up to FIVE pieces of artwork and/or photography per contributor per issue.

PROSE:You may submit up to THREE pieces of prose. This may include fiction, non-fiction, memoir, flash fiction, or essays. No longer than 3,000 words. Each piece should be sent as a separate attachment.

POETRY:We accept poetry of all forms and styles. Please send each titled poem as a separate attachment. We will accept up to FIVE poems per contributor per issue. You may submit up to five poems at a time; anything beyond five will not be considered.

As always, it is the goal of Tangent to offer writers and artists a professionally designed and well-crafted venue to showcase their work. The above listed guidelines are not only meant to ease the editorial burdens of our already beleaguered staff, but to streamline works so that by the time they drop into our “in” boxes, they are that much closer to publication. If you have any questions concerning submission guidelines or publication, feel free to contact the editors at tangentmagazine@aol.com.

ACCEPTED WORKS:
You will be contacted only if we decide to feature your work in an issue of Tangent. Contributors will receive one copy of the issue at cost (the price of printing). Unfortunately, we cannot provide free copies at this time.

By submitting to Tangent, you grant us one-time rights to publish your work in the magazine. Upon publication, all rights to the piece revert back to the artist or writer. You also grant us rights to promote you and your work on ad materials and through our website.
