First things first
No pitch. No perfect idea.
Your page can be a photograph, a recipe, a poem, a tiny business, a love letter, a list, an argument, or something we haven’t imagined yet.
We’ll give you an issue deadline by email. Until then, use this guide to get your finished page ready.
One important thing: only submit work you made yourself or have permission to use. We’ll review every page before publication.
The practical bits
Your file, ready to go.
Build it in Canva, Figma, Photoshop, Google Slides, or whatever makes sense to you.
PDF is best.
Send a flattened PDF whenever possible. A high-quality PNG or JPG is also welcome if it is at least 2550 × 3300 px.
Leave a little room.
Keep important text, faces, and details at least 100 px from every edge. Full-bleed artwork is welcome.
Make it yours.

Good questions
Need to know.
Can someone help me make my page?
Absolutely. Collaborate, ask a friend, or work with a designer. Just credit collaborators and make sure everyone is happy for the work to appear.
Can I advertise my business or event?
Yes, as long as it is honest, legal, and fits on your one page. Include a clear way for people to find you.
What can’t go on a page?
We can’t publish content that is hateful, threatening, unlawful, plagiarized, sexually explicit, or designed to deceive people. We may ask for a change if something risks harming someone or does not fit the magazine.
What happens after I submit?
We’ll review the file, confirm any needed edits with you, and assemble the issue. You’ll receive a digital copy when the magazine is published.
Make one page worth keeping.
