After the Art — Submissions

Overview
After the Art operates as a literary magazine with an ongoing, rolling submission window. This open-ended reading period allows writers to submit fiction, poetry, and nonfiction at any time, without the pressure of a fixed deadline. The magazine's title suggests a curatorial interest in work that engages with the aftermath of artistic creation—whether in the visual, performing, or literary arts—though the exact thematic parameters remain defined by the editors' evolving vision. As a publication, After the Art provides a platform for writers to place their work before a readership attuned to the intersections of literature and the arts. While specific details regarding payment, circulation, or editorial preferences are not provided in the available information, the rolling nature of the call indicates a sustained commitment to reading new work and an openness to diverse voices and forms. Writers considering submission should approach the magazine as a serious literary venue. The absence of a deadline or fee (status unknown) suggests a focus on the work itself, rather than on contest mechanics. The magazine's name implies a curatorial engagement with art as subject matter or context, making it a natural fit for writers whose work reflects on creative practice, ekphrasis, or the cultural landscape.
