VISUAL ART SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Flyway is currently looking for small artist portfolios to feature on our new on-line web journal. Please submit 3-5 images of any kind, including graphic art/ comics.

Submissions should be in .jpg, .png, or .tif format, of a suitable image quality and resolution for web display, with a 2000px minimum length of the longest dimension (either length or height, depending on orientation). Flyway is a non-profit web-based literary journal. Artists who submit to Flyway retain all rights to their work.

Flyway provides a publication platform for new, emerging, and established artists to share their work with a broad and supportive audience. Artwork published and featured by Flyway will reach a large audience.

General questions may be sent to flywayjournal@gmail.com. Please use our online submission manager, not e-mail, to submit your work.

ABOUT US

Based  out of Iowa State University, Flyway: Journal of Writing &  Environment is an online journal publishing poetry, fiction, nonfiction,  short scripts, and visual art that explores the many complicated facets  of the word environment – whether rural, urban, or suburban; whether built or wild – and all its social and political implications.

In addition to publishing issues of literary writing, in the above-listed genres, on a rolling schedule, Flyway also  welcomes submissions from visual artists. We accept literary  submissions from September 1 to March 31 of each year. We accept visual  art submissions year-round.  For our general submissions, we charge a  nominal fee of $3 per submission.

Over the years, Flyway has  sponsored various writing awards, such as the Iowa Sweet Corn Prize in  Fiction and Poetry, and the Notes from the Field Nonfiction Prize. For  the 2023-2024 academic year, we do not anticipate sponsoring any  literary prizes.

We are interested in work that explores the  intersection of human experience and the environment, broadly  interpreted: work that focuses on ecology, science and the environmental  imagination, certainly, but also work that focuses on place, on natural  and built environments, and on the ways that people interact with their  environments. We are looking for work that surprises, moves, haunts, or  affects the reader in some significant way.

We encourage and  welcome submissions from diverse voices and under-represented  populations, including -- but not limited to -- international authors,  people of color, members of the LGBTQ+ community, those with  disabilities, and the elderly. Authors of all walks of life should feel  encouraged to send us stories, poems, essays, and art celebrating the  diverse characters and settings all around us.
