We accept photo interviews from authors who have at least one published book. A photo-interview is one in which you provide photos pertaining to something about yourself, a book, inspiration for writing, a set topic, or some other united subject. Photos should have some meaning on a particular subject, and should be your own photos, or photos you have permission to use. We especially want to hear from marginalized and underrepresented authors, and we are an LGBTQUIA+ safe-space. We are not interested in affiliated articles, purchased opinions, or columns that are trying to sell something with a paid bias.

• Material should have a minimum of 100 words.
• Material should include at least 5 images (and up to 19).
• All work must be in English and must be the author’s own. We do not consider AI-generated works.
• No religion or hate speech. Do not submit material that is hateful toward any type of person or culture, or that is pro-gun.
• If you need to adjust a submission, please use the Request to Edit option through Submittable. Please don’t request to edit for minor flaws, however—all accepted work will go through an editing process and will have the chance to be updated before publication, and your work will not be disqualified for a missing comma.
• All authors must be at least 18 to submit.
• Simultaneous submissions allowed. If your piece is picked up elsewhere, please withdraw your submission through Submittable.
• Previously published interviews are not considered.
• Submit via Submittable only. We do not accept email submissions.
• There is a $2 administrative fee that we have to charge for each submission to use the Submittable platform. You may submit as many times as you’d like, but each submission must be made separately with a separate fee. The fee helps us with needed administration costs, but it’s not meant to be too inhibitive. If you are unable to pay, please email us for an alternative submission method.
• We will send a response to every submission within two months. Form response only, unless we are interested in publishing your work. We are regretfully unable to provide feedback. If you have not heard back from us within two months, please feel free to contact us (kindly).
• We pay $10 per accepted interview.
• We acknowledge that we are headquartered on what should be Arapaho land on a street that is instead named for a dead white male president who owned enslaved people and severed Native American Nations apart irrevocably. To honor the reparations that this entire country needs to make, Black writers and Native American Indigenous (United States and Canada) writers may submit interviews for free.
