Submission Guidelines

In an effort to streamline our submissions process, these guidelines have been updated as of November 2, 2010. Please take note of our new instructions:


1. Submit anything you wish! Writing can be in the form of short stories, poetry, memoir, creative non-fiction, or abstract fiction. Art can be any media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, collage, assemblage, fabric arts, and more. We want to see whatever you want to share, so let your dreamy mind come forth and play with us.

2. Each issue of Artella is loosely guided by a theme. Feel free to interpret the themes in any way you wish. Issues of e-Artella (our e-zine distributed on alternate months) are not tied to a theme, so feel free to submit work on any subject.New themes and deadlines for Artella Magazine will be posted, soon.

3. Creators of published submissions receive several complimentary copies of the issue in which their work is included. Writers and artists retain all copyright for work submitted or printed, and are free to submit and reprint it elsewhere.

    • Email submissions are preferred for artwork. However, you must be able to provide photographs of your art in high-resolution (300 dpi) in order to be considered for publication.

    • Send scans or digital photos of artwork in JPEG, GIF, or TIFF format. ***Images must be scanned at 300dpi, at the largest physical dimension (in pixels or inches) possible in order to be published; however, if you want to send a lower resolution first, that is fine, but we will need it in 300 dpi upon acceptance into an issue.
