Our NOMADartx Review considers and curates fresh voices in arts and literature that address creativity and the creative process. We review all media of visual art and submissions of original written work in fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction/personal essay, interviews, and reviews.

Categories:

1. Fiction, Personal Essay & Poetry: For general prose and poetry submissions, please note that while we welcome writing of any length, we are more likely to publish pieces under 5,000 words. Please limit your submissions to one per reading cycle.

2. Industry Specials: For our "Industry Specials" column, we seek innovative voices to discuss or demonstrate tools to help creatives grow their personal goals and careers. Emerging and working creatives regularly face challenges in time, funding, work value, work-life balance, and more. We're looking to publish articles that address these concerns from personal experience or collective wisdom. NOMADartx Review is seeking these subtopics, especially:

Promotion, connections, and effective ways to sell work and services;
Pricing time and/or physical works;
Artistic processes and tools;
Guides to style and/or program-building;
Access assistance for useful programs (physical and digital);
Resume and portfolio builders;
Confidence and self-worth;
Grant-writing and residency advice.

3. Critiques, Interviews, & Reviews: for works of an analytical nature, we’re looking for observers to share reviews and inclusive opinions about bodies of work, galleries, art houses, communities, creatively-geared sites, and more. While the focus is not limited to emerging creatives, projects, and businesses, NOMADartx Review is seeking new and exciting approaches that are lesser-known, such as articles addressing:

Explorative considerations of shows and exhibits, educational centers or projects;
Interviews with emerging creative people;
Creative reviews on singular or collective pieces by one person or collaborations;
Philosophical or social considerations of oeuvres and styles not specific to one artist.

4. Visual Art: please limit submissions to 5 pieces per reading cycle, prepared in .jpg or .png format. The resolution for images should be greater than 70 dpi. Please include your artist statement in the cover letter area, linking your submission to themes of the magazine.

General Submission Guidelines:

Please email submissions directly to:

  • While we welcome writing submissions of any length, we are more likely to publish prose under 5,000 words.
  • Please prepare writing submissions in one letter-sized document, using a standard typeface (e.g., Times, Helvetica, Arial) and font size (12 point). All files must be uploaded in PDF or Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) formats. Please do not include your name anywhere on your manuscript (rather, include it in the cover letter). Please DO include page numbers.
  • For visual art: please limit submissions to 5 pieces per reading cycle, and prepare your files in .jpg or .png formats. The resolution for images should be greater than 70 dpi.
  • We reserve the right to pair accepted visual works alongside written pieces or other artworks, and curate multiple works into groups for features. Additionally, we may select certain works to feature, in part or whole, in banner areas of the NOMADartx site.
  • We are open to simultaneous submissions, but please email us to let us know as soon as your work is accepted elsewhere.
  • We may occasionally republish previously published work, as long as this does not conflict with previous contracts. However, you must indicate previously published work when you submit.
  • Responses will be provided as promptly as we, with a small staff, are able to provide them. Please do not email us about the status of your work until at least six months after submission.
  • Although NOMADartx Review does not request exclusive rights to accepted work, we do request the right to preserve your work online in our archives for the lifespan of the magazine. If the work we publish is later republished, we request that you note its initial publication in NOMADartx.
  • NOMADartx Review is currently an all-volunteer publication and we're unable to provide payment at this time. However, we are passionate about promoting great art, and will submit contributor work for appropriate literary and art prizes!

Thank you for your interest in NOMADartx & The NOMADartx Review, and in helping to build creative community!
