Guidelines for Submission

For fullest and quickest consideration for PHOTOGRAPHERS AND ARTISTS:

  • Please submit photographs, cartoons, line drawings, and illustrations electronically.
  • All visual images must relate to the theme.
  • Include a brief (50 words or less) statement of the regional tie-in and your work’s pertinence to the theme.
  • Illustrations in the magazine are black and white only.
  • Photo essays and photos should include information and details for captions. Specify required copyright and photo credit wording as well.
  • Some illustrations are done on assignment. For consideration, send your credentials and a few samples that demonstrate your range of styles.
  • Photos and illustrations may be scaled or judiciously cropped to fit available space.
  • Because Now & Then is part of a nonprofit, educational initiative, payment is modest, generally in the form of a small honorarium and a complimentary copy.
  • Though we prefer first publication rights on work, we do accept reprints and simultaneous submissions. You need to supply us with signed reprint permission and inform us of other publications considering the work. Acceptance and publication in another Appalachian-focused publication does preclude its use in Now & Then.
