Call out for a chance to showcase your art/writing in a new and upcoming magazine. For individuals that don't fear to express their emotions.

Welcome to Pickled, a new and upcoming literary and visual arts magazine showcasing works from individuals iof all backgrounds and identities.

This is the first issue of the magazine, there are a lot of things to figure out but what we really need is you; artists and writers!

The first issue, Brine, will surround the theme of raw, sweet and sour emotions. All types of subjects are welcome. Don't be scared!

We welcome all visual artists and writers to send in work.

Don't be scared to be honest; we welcome all authentic and true ways of self-expression.

If you’re an artist or writer, submit now. Know someone with something to say?

Share this with them.

Submissions are open until 13th February 2026. Plenty of time to create and send 💚

Pickled is open for submissions for roughly ten weeks. It is free to submit to Pickled.

The submission window for Issue #1 is 1st December 2025 - 13th February 2026.

We welcome simultaneous submissions (i.e. work you have also sent elsewhere).

Pickled is a very small magazine. We hope to begin offering payments to writers and artists in later issues.

Artists will be credited, of course!

This can be done whichever way they would like to.

This detail can be discussed if your work is successful.

There will be a couple of featured artists and interviews.

We are marketing this magazine through Instagram and through posters (soon).

Niche is our speciality.

The magazine will be accessed by print only.

We plan on making 50 copies for the first print run of the issue.

If the work is in demand, more will be printed.

This magazine will be pitched to most independent print stores in the north, as that is where we are based.

If you have any questions, please see the opportunity FAQ's.

If it has not been addressed, contact me through CuratorSpace if you have any enquiries.

Important:

Please submit up to 3 projects. You can include up to 10 images with titles and descriptions, up to 3 written works, or a combination of both, with a total of no more than 3 projects.

Attach images or a document showing the work you would like to present. (It doesn't matter if the work is not finished or if all the images are not there.

I will be asking for more of the final versions if your work makes the cut!) 

Note:

AI is completely unacceptable within the magazine. DO NOT submit any work that derives from using AI or has AI elements.
