FAQ - Auroras & Blossoms

Many of you have sent us the same questions over and over via email. That is why we created a very detailed FAQ and Philosophy pages to help you.

But we wanted to make things even easier by breaking down all the questions into easy-to-digest posts.

Today’s question is: “What is the maximum length you accept per type of art submitted?“

At Auroras & Blossoms, we accept the following types of art: short stories, six-word stories, flash fiction, essays, poetry, poetry-graphy, drawings, paintings, and photography.

Poetry-graphy is where your poetry is overlaid within an image that is either your own image or you own the rights to the image itself. Your poem must contain a maximum of 250 words, fit into one image and be large enough to be able to be read on small screens. For examples, click here.

Poetry: up to 1,500 words.
Poetry-graphy: up to 3 images.
Drawings / Paintings / Photography: up to 3 images

Many of you have sent us the same questions over and over via email. That is why we created a very detailed FAQ and Philosophy pages to help you.

But we wanted to make things even easier by breaking down all the questions into easy-to-digest posts.

Let’s start with the following question: “What are the topics / themes of your platform?“

We accept any topic/theme providing that it is positive and uplifting in nature, with the exception of erotica and politics.

Positive art stands for art that is stimulating, optimistic, confident, uplifting, and inspirational.

No matter what topic you choose to tackle (e.g., death, disease, mental illness, suicide, depression…), the pieces you send us should answer three basic questions:

– “How do they help others?”
– “How do they open their minds?”
– “Do they bring a better understanding of the situations or stories I am describing?”

If you can’t answer those questions, your submission is unlikely to make it into one of the issues of our magazine. So, please don’t send it to us. We will not respond.

With that said, other magazines will probably be happy to accept your stuff. We just don’t do edgy. We are 100% focused on positivity. This focus will never change.
