Red Pocket Magazine is currently accepting submissions for our 5th volume, The Emotionary!

Requirements

Any high school or university student (ages 13 to 30 inclusive) of Asian (East, South, Southeast, Middle East, Central, etc.) descent is allowed to submit. Although the name of the magazine suggests the magazine is primarily for East/South-East Asians, all artists with roots in any part of Asia are welcome.

Red Pocket Magazine is an international magazine based in Canada, so it accepts international submissions with open arms.

Submissions are encouraged to be inspired by something new you have learned about your culture, but do not need to be. Submissions need not follow the theme, but are encouraged to do so as the majority of accepted submissions will follow the theme.

You may submit multiple pieces of the same category or of different categories for each magazine volume.

​Art

The following types of art pieces are accepted for unsolicited submissions: paintings, drawings, digital art, photography/film, and music. This list of categories is not exhaustive and if your art does not fit into one of these categories, it is still acceptable for submission. Simply specify "Other" when choosing a category.

Artists who wish to specifically draw artwork for any submitted written pieces should contact Red Pocket Magazine for more information at https://www.facebook.com/redpocketmagazine/. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the previous link.

Writing

The following types of pieces are accepted for unsolicited submissions:

1. Short stories (2000 words or less)

2. Poems (60 lines or less)

3. Personal Essays (2000 words or less)

4. Opinion (2000 words or less)

We accept submissions that may not fit in one category completely (e.g. Creative Nonfiction); simply specify "Other" when choosing a category.

Rights​

As a magazine, Red Pocket Magazine asks for First Serial Rights. This means that Red Pocket Magazine has the right to publish your art piece for the first time. Red Pocket Magazine is volunteer-run and unfortunately cannot provide monetary compensation for your work.
