Papirmasse is an affordable art subscription that sends a monthly print with art on one side and writing on the other to people around the world for the incredible price of $5 a month. If you are an artist or a writer, now is your chance to have your work sent around the world!
Details below.

• Selected Contributors receive a stipend and 3 free copies of their issue.
• While we generally produce a simple one-page print, we are open to any and all whacky ideas you have that push the boundaries of innovative print. Some of our issues have been accordion-folded, others have been assembled into small books, we even did a postcard issue. Most are digitally-printed (and because of that limited to a page size of 12×18 inches), but we are open to other printing techniques a few times a year.
• Send the following to Kirsten McCrea at kirsten(at)papirmasse.com with subject line “ARTIST SUBMISSION” or “WRITER SUBMISSION” (indicate which). Successful applicants will be contacted within 6 months. Incomplete submissions will not be considered.
• Are you a good fit? Before submitting, please review our past issues here. Learn more about us here.

ARTISTS
1. Up to 5 images of your work (max 1MB). Please note that if selected you must be able to provide a high resolution file of the selected image. Read more about resolution here. Indicate if any of the submitted works have appeared elsewhere.
2. A brief biography: 75 – 250 words. Let us know who are, what you do, and what your “greatest hits” are. Art submissions are kind of like blind dating. Make us want to date you (but don’t lie!).
3. A short description of each submitted work: 25 – 100 words.
4. CV and contact information, including your website.
5. News of any upcoming exhibitions or events in the next year (optional).

WRITERS
Fiction / Essays / Poetry / Novel Excerpts / Critical texts / And other unimaginable things
We encourage simultaneous submissions, but please inform us immediately if your submission has been picked up by another publication (yay for you!).
1. Up to 5 works for consideration, up to 1,500 words each. There is no minimum word count: we are open to short and even very short works. Please indicate if any of the submitted works have appeared elsewhere. There is the possibility of publishing longer pieces once or twice a year, but we prefer submissions that stay under the word count. Indicate if any of the submitted works have appeared elsewhere. Critical and non-fiction writers may submit an abstract.
2. A brief biography: 75 – 250 words. Who are you, what do you do, why do you do what you do, notable achievements you have. Get creative, make us smile. Or be really serious if that’s the kind of writer you are. It’s all fair game.
3. CV and contact information, including your website.
4. News of any upcoming publications or readings in the next year (optional).
