CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS! ISSUE 8: HOME

June 19, 2018 by the ILLUSTORIA team

Are you an artist, writer, illustrator or maker who would love to contribute to ILLUSTORIA? Well, we'd love to hear from you! We're on the look out for work inspired by the theme "home" for Issue 8. We welcome submissions that interpret "home" in unique, unexpected ways. Think: sustainability, immigration, native lands, haunted houses, utopias and beyond. 

In particular, we're interested in: 
- a couple of 1- to 2-page comics or illustrated stories
-spot art or standalone illustrations + minimal text or poetry
-1–3 panel comic strips for our Comic Mixup feature 

Guidelines: 
1. Before submitting, familiarize yourself with ILLUSTORIA’s past issues. 
2. If sending art, please send a small description of the article or story you have in mind.  If the work is sport art / a standalone illustration please note it as such. 
3. Please submit work as small, web friendly files. Please don’t use file-sharing services with links that might expire or that require us downloading your work in order to view it.
4. Include full contact information: phone, email, and mailing address, website and social media channels. 
5. Fiction and nonfiction manuscripts should include an exact word count; poetry manuscripts should include an exact line count. 

For more information on submissions, please look here.
