=== SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ===

**BEESWAX SUBMISSIONS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED. Please note that the current reading period is for Issue 7, due out in early 2011.**

Beeswax Magazine publishes fiction, poetry, nonfiction and visual art, but we are open to cross-genre and/or unclassifiable work, too. Novel excerpts are fine as long as they can stand alone as complete pieces. Please read all policies and guidelines before sending us your work.

READING PERIOD
We are currently reading for Issue 7, which will be published in 2011. We do not yet have a firm date for open submissions for Issue 8, but when we do it will be posted on this page. Note that submissions received outside of any announced reading period will be returned unread.

POLICIES
We do not accept simultaneous submissions. That said, we do try very hard to respond to your submission in a timely manner. Submissions that are noted as simultaneous will be returned unread.

• While sending several poems or shorter prose pieces in a single submission is encouraged, we do not accept multiple submissions at the same time; please wait for our response before sending a new submission.

Please allow up to four months for us to respond to your submission. Generally, we will do our best to respond as soon as we can, but sometimes it might take up to four months. If it has been longer than 16 weeks, feel free to send us an email requesting a submission status.

GUIDELINES
• Fiction and prose entries must be typed and double-spaced; please do not exceed 25 pages (approx. 7000 words) for fiction submissions. Poetry entries must be typed; please do not exceed 10 pages for poetry submissions.

• Visual artists -- be advised that Beeswax rarely publishes in color; our preferred medium is black and white/grayscale. We love all kinds of art, from photography to comic books and beyond, so if you have something visual, send it our way. We also love work that combines text and art, and we are absolutely all-for artist collaboration; we would be happy to consider your collaborative work. Please send pdfs or low res files; if we are interested in high res versions of your files, we will contact you.

Include a cover letter that gives us a brief idea of who you are and what kind of work you do/have done. Please include your phone number, email and mailing address in your cover letter.

• Beeswax does not currently offer payment for publication. However, writers and artists published in Beeswax will receive two complimentary copies of the issue in which they appear.

There are two options for submitting to Beeswax:
