Hello folks!

As mentioned several times on the blog, our current reading period for our magazine ended yesterday.

What does it mean? Even though we still accept submissions all year round, what you send us from now on will be reviewed when we re-open submissions.

Our next reading period will start in a couple of months. We will publish an announcement on the blog then. So, if you do not want to miss the news, we recommend that you sign up for our newsletter.

In the meantime, check out our two anthology submission calls going on right now.

The PoArtMo Anthology : 2021 Edition

After our very successful first edition, the PoArtMo Anthology is back! We want your most inspirational art created in 2021.

As always, we accept poetry, poetry-graphy, photography, short stories, six word stories, essays, flash fiction, drawings and paintings.

New this year: A second anthology featuring works dedicated to 13-16 year-old artists!

The No Longer Ignored Anthology

What does social justice mean to you? Send us your most inspirational / postive art and stories that answer this question.

Our New FAQ Page

Many of you have had inquiries regarding Auroras & Blossoms. However, for the last few months, you have asked us the same questions over and over again. Since time is of the essence for us and you, we have decided to create a general FAQ page. It is very thorough and should alleviate any doubts and concerns you have about our submission process at Auroras & Blossoms.

If you are new to our platform, we recommend that you read our FAQ page before visiting the submissions page of your choice.

NB: This is a general FAQ page. For answers relating specifically to the publication you are submitting to at Auroras & Blossoms, please read the FAQ of the relevant submissions page that interests you.

Happy creating!

Now Offering Royalty Payments for Publication in Our Magazine and Anthologies!

By

On January 7, 2021

In Announcements, New issues

Hello everyone!

If you missed our show on Tuesday, you did not hear the huge news we shared. So, here it is!

The pandemic has hit people hard, especially underrepresented artists. As such, we wanted to support the creatives who work with us in a more meaningful way.

Many magazines cannot afford to pay their contributors. The ones that do pay usually offer a small lump sum. This is especially true in the poetry world. That is the reason why we have decided to offer royalty payments to paying contributors of our issues and anthologies from now on — starting with issue 6 of the Auroras & Blossoms Poetry Journal!

What does it mean?

  • Royalties are paid on an ongoing basis and will be allocated on a ‘per piece basis’ for each piece featured in an issue or anthology.
  • Every time someone purchases a copy of an issue, the featured artists who have opted to receive royalties will earn a percentage of the money made on that sale. Make sure you let family and friends know where you have been published to increase your own earnings potential.
  • Featured artists have the potential to earn royalties for many years to come!
  • Readers have the opportunity to support underrepresented and established artists alike and encourage them to continue creating.

How Do Royalty Payments Work?

Royalty payments and sales reports are handled by Draft2Digital (D2D), our main ebook distributor. To be able to receive royalties as a featured artist, you will have to open your own Draft2Digital account and complete your payment settings and tax interview directly on the Draft2Digital website.

(The process is similar to what you would have to do to publish your books / ebooks on Amazon).

The next step will be to send us the email address you used to sign up for your account with Draft2Digital, so we can let them know that they can finalize the royalty payment process with you.

Please note the following:

  • We cannot set up your D2D account for you.
  • We cannot help with any technical issues you may encounter with the site or accessing your account with D2D. Please contact their support team instead.
  • D2D will handle royalty payments, not us. D2D will also handle sales reports for your publication, which you can access via your D2D account.

At Auroras & Blossoms, we want you to feel part of a big family of inspirational artists whose work and ideas are valued. As such, we believe that royalties are a step in the right direction. And we sincerely hope that you will agree that this is an amazing opportunity for artists going forward to help reward them for their work!

In the meantime…

Continue Submitting to Our Magazine!

Our current reading period ends on January 20th, 2021. Please submit to us before or on this deadline to ensure consideration for publication in an issue at the end of 2021/early 2022.

Kindly note that publication slots are limited. So we advise you to submit as soon as possible.

We are open to submissions all year long and also accept pieces from 13-16 year-old artists.

We look forward to reading you. Happy creating!
