Rolling submissions for ANIMAL are now live. Check out our submission guidelines on our website, or read more below.
We accept all genres of writing and all mediums of visual art created by individuals who identify with or as an animal in any capacity. Submissions need not be explicitly concerned with furry&alterhuman content alone, though such works are encouraged.
ANIMAL accepts:
Poetry: Up to five pages in a 12-point font, single spaced. If submitting multiple poems, the start of each poem should appear on a new page. Submit one file per submission with all poems in the same document.
Fiction: Short stories and flash fiction, with a maximum of 5,000 words. One story per submission.
Nonfiction: Creative nonfiction and essays, personal or academic. Maximum of 5,000 words, one piece per submission. We ask that academic essays be accompanied by a bibliography.
Visual art: Photography, collage, painting, digital illustration, and any medium/s that are able to be scanned or photographed to be submitted as a JPEG or similar format, such as a PNG or TIF file. Up to five pieces may be included in one submission.
Comics: Comics may be in black and white or colour and should be submitted as PDFs. Due to the form’s complexity, we accept a broad range of image-text approaches at a maximum of three pages per submission.
Articles, reviews, recommendations, and adjacent material: ANIMAL will publish short features of up to 1,000 words on a rolling basis, independent of any themed issue. Such features might be media reviews, a curated reading list, or a recipe. Email [email protected] with “feature” in the subject line to ensure we see your piece.
We do not accept AI-generated or AI-assisted works.
We ask that all poetry and prose submissions be formatted single spaced with a 12-point font. Authors intentionally using creative fonts and formats are encouraged to make a note of it in their submission. All submissions should be emailed to [email protected] as an attached file. Please indicate the category of your submission in the subject line. A cover letter is not required, but please provide a short third-person bio to accompany your work, including a name to attribute the piece to. We post on our Instagram and Tumblr when a new piece has been published; if you would like us to tag you in the description, please let us know.
ANIMAL does not accept work that has been previously curated, in print or online. Works may be previously self-published on social media, but may not have been published in books, magazines, or similar collections open to the public. If your piece is accepted, we ask that ANIMAL have first serial rights and non-exclusive digital rights. This means that we are granted the rights to be the first publication to publish your piece and that we may display your piece on our website indefinitely. Copyright will remain with you.
After we publish, you are free to submit your work to other publications, though we ask that ANIMAL be credited in subsequent reprints.
In the interest of accessibility, ANIMAL is free to submit to and read. Although we would love to compensate our contributors for their work, our small crew works fully on a volunteer basis and cannot currently pay for submissions. This is a passion project for us, and our hope is that as interest in the magazine grows we will be able to adopt a model that would allow us to compensate our artists and writers while still hosting free submissions.
Feel free to send us an ask or email us with any questions regarding submissions. We aim for a submission response time of two weeks, but we are a small crew. Feel free to reach out to us at [email protected] if we haven’t gotten back to you after a month.
We're doing research on different pronouns & sexualities & how they work so we're doing a tag game!
All you have to do is say something similar to
"hi, I'm [name], I'm [gender] , [sexuality] and I use [pronouns], which are used like [this]!"
Hi, my name is Ashton. I'm voidreflux, I'm omnigay, and I use many pronouns including he/she/they/it/feathers/xey/zem! Himself, herself, itself, their self, xerself, zerself!
hiii i’m beatrix/bee, i’m unlabeled, sapphic, and use any pronouns, but mainly they/xe ! ex. “bee brings xyr space themed bandaids everywhere, xey like to be prepared!” :D
I'm not a therian but pls reblog or something if youre an adult therian. I need to find more nonhuman blogs, a lot of people on here who identify as animals are children.
YOUR SO COOL??? UR SO GOOD AT ART TOO?? *WAGS TAIL* (ur art GENUINELY makes my phantom tail wag!! :3)
im gonna tell you a story, im kinda yapping, so feel free to ignore it:
okay so like there's this girl at my school, lets call her J, and i'm late for school, and she's ALSO late for school...now she's new-ish and im kinda scared to talk to her?? anyways so we're both in the office to get the like... tardy/late slips(??) so we can go to class, right? AND SHE SAYS HI TO ME and i just go 'hi' in like a semi quiet voice and i'm thinking 'ohhhhhhhhh god ohhhhhhh my gosh what if she thinks i'm weird bc my tail's wagging'
bro forgot he didn't have a tail!! XD i was so worried she'd be like 'shes so weird' BECAUSE I WAS WAGGING MY NONEXISTENT TAIL like its kinda crazy/sad but i also think its funny? anyways i might draw that whole interaction in the future, or a very shortended version, but it got good reactions in a therian community on here so i thought i'd tell someone else!
(for a little more context, i've had phantom teeth/tail shifts off and on for like the past week, mainly on school days?? idrk its very off and on as i said)
thank u so much !! I’ve been having a very bad day but this made me super happy ^^ I’m glad that you like my art!!
