For Artists
Please submit your work by sending the URL of your portfolio or online gallery to our email address (inanothertimemagazine@gmail.com), and also include your rights usage fee(s) or original commission fee. Our contract will ask for the rights associated for the cover of a specific issue (both print and digital) and the marketing around that issue, while all other rights will remain with the artist. And as above, we are not accepting anything made with AI, now or ever, for all of time.
