Artwork

Peatsmoke features artists in each issue, with art paired with each story and poem and displayed prominently on our main page. We are into any kind of 2-D art that appears well on a website, but the one exception is cartoons. It's hard to pair them well with another piece of writing. 

Send us your collage, your photography, your paintings, your sculptures, your line drawings, your wood cuts, your etchings, your linotypes, your sand art --- whatever it is, we'd love to check it out. For our consideration, please give us a submission of 5-10 images. Upload each JPEG image with a name or title so that it is easier for us to differentiate between pieces. Please only one submit once per submission period and wait until you have received a response before submitting again. If you were in our past two issues, please skip this submission cycle (unless asked to submit) so we can give more artists a chance to get published.

Sometimes it can take months, even up to a year, before we accept or decline, a submission, especially if we like your work. We pair art and writing, so finding a match can take time, but we realize the long wait can be frustrating. If you want an update, feel free to send our art editor, Shagufta, a message after it has been three months since you submitted. If you would like to have your submission opened for editing to replace art that was accepted elsewhere, let us know at any time.

We accept simultaneous submissions but if any of your pieces are accepted elsewhere, please let us know immediately.
