Before submitting, please read about us to see if your work fits within Room’s mandate, then refer to our submission guidelines.

Submission period: September 1- 30, 2023

Guidelines

Submit only work that has not been previously published, in print or online.

We gladly accept simultaneous submissions. If accepted elsewhere, congratulations! Please do let us know and withdraw your piece.

We do not charge for submissions, with the exception of our annual contests, which also come with a one-year print subscription.

We publish four times a year: two themed and two un-themed issues. Check our homepage for updates on upcoming themes and deadlines.

We also run four contests a year. Visit our contests page for updates.

We no longer accept art submissions via submittable, but please visit our submissions page to familiarize yourself with the art we’re published recently, what we’re looking for, and how to submit.
