Beeswax Magazine publishes fiction, poetry, nonfiction and visual art, but we are open to cross-genre and/or unclassifiable work, too. We accept submissions year-round; simultaneous submissions are fine, but please let us know in your cover letter. There are two options for submitting to Beeswax:

EMAIL SUBMISSIONS
to submissions@beeswaxmagazine.com. Your submission must be attached as a .doc or .pdf file. Please include a brief cover letter in the body of your email. We will respond to your submission, but please allow up to twelve weeks for us to do so.

MAIL SUBMISSIONS
to Beeswax Magazine, P.O. Box 22777, Oakland, California, 94609. Please include a brief cover letter and SASE. We will respond to submissions that include SASE in twelve weeks or less. Please send copies of your work; manuscripts and art will not be returned.

GUIDELINES
Fiction and prose entries must be typed and double-spaced; please do not exceed 30 pages (approx. 9000 words). Poetry entries must be typed; please do not exceed 10 pages.

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.

Cover letters should be brief and give us an 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.
