A letter in the body of the email that introduces us to you and tells us a little bit about why your piece suits the theme and the magazine, and whatever else you’d like us to know. Let us know whether you are an Alaska-based artist in this email.
Your submission as an attachment to the email (accepted file types are listed below).
Complete pieces only (no pitches, please).
Work must be from the past year: January 2020-present.
Do not submit work that has been previously published in another publication (but feel free to publish work accepted in Anecdote elsewhere, too). Simultaneous Submissions are accepted (with notice given if work has been accepted elsewhere)

Visual work:
Medium: any type of visual work, as long as it relates to the theme.
Number of pieces: as many as you’d like for us to choose from, as long as they follow the guidelines. If your piece is meant to be viewed as a series, and you don’t want them to be separated into standalone pieces, let us know.

You will be notified whether or not your work has been accepted
*update: thank you for your patience as we catch up with notifications
4/16 - 4/30.
We will work with you to make any needed small edits to your work, and collect more information about you to feature in the magazine
Fall 2021:
Issue 01 released for purchase first as a digital, and then printed publication
Please note that as this volunteer-based publication gets off the ground, we are unable to compensate for submissions that run in the magazine.
Each creator who has work in Anecdote will receive a free digital version of the magazine once it is ready for the public.
We’ll credit and promote your work in every way that we can - in the magazine, on social media, and in a directory of submitters which will live on this website as Issue 01 gets underway. The hope is that it will become a well-used community resource.
