- Work that does not include any relevant Content Warnings or Triggers in your submission (I.E., victim POV sexual assault, eating disorders, trauma). Your piece does not have to be PG-13, but it does have to be respectful of our editors & readers.
HOW do you submit?
- Currently, we accept submissions for MyrtleHaus Magazine (a bi-annual luxury-length literary/art mag) and Dahlia Zine. To submit, please specify by emailing us at myrtlehausmag@gmail.com with the subject line being, "MyrtleHaus Magazine Submission", or "Dahlia Zine Submission".
- Please attach all submissions to emails in a .doc/.docx format. PDF is also accepted if you'd like us to see a specific format. Poems should be detached from any photos. Please do not include photos in documents, they're a pain in the a** to detach! If you send in a photography AND poetry submission, please specify if you would like them to be formatted together.
- YOU ARE ABLE TO SUBMIT MULTIPLE MEDIA AT ONCE FOR THE MAGAZINE AND ZINE. For example, you are able to submit photography and poetry in the same email for the magazine or zine. You do not need to separate these.
- PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR PRONOUNS IN YOUR SUBMISSION! I want to respect them and want my readers to as well.
- Please include a brief third-person bio, as well as a cover note (at least a half page in first person) introducing yourself and your relationship with your art! I want my readers to feel like they know you whenever they read/view your work.
- This is not required but preferred: please include 2-3 images OF YOURSELF that can be posted on the website and potentially published in the magazine or on inside covers. These images should be high resolution and the photographer MUST be credited (name and social media tag).
- Please include a link to your social media (so that people can find your art).
- If you are submitting portrait photography, PLEASE CREDIT YOUR MODELS!
If you are accepted for publication, please wait 6 months before submitting again.
Submission requirements for MyrtleHaus Magazine are extensive because we want to provide the best experience for our readers to get to know you and other artists. Our goal is to showcase you and your work, which requires lots of information!
Please understand that if your submission is missing any of the required components, it will not be considered.
