Article Submissions
Issue 6 page
We are always accepting the following types of materials:
- “How to” or Step-by-step articles on artistic techniques. We are interested in techniques that can be applied to any mail art. These include illustrative techniques, and also works in fabric, digital, collage, mixed media, and more.
- Articles on artistic journeys or experiences. Do you have an interesting story that you would like to share? We would love to hear it.
- Artist Spotlight/Profile. Do you have a body of work you would like share? We would love to feature you in our artist spotlight.
- Showcasing Art. We are interested in showcasing assemblages, mixed media work, creative journaling, chunky books, fat books, inchies, ATC’s (Artist Trading Cards), post cards and more. These types of articles usually have a small bit of background accompanying them but primarily are visual in nature.
- Product and Book Reviews. If you are interested in writing a review of a new product or book that is connected to the mail art world, we would love to hear about it.
Please use our contact form to send an article proposal to us.
