We’re open to any form of visual art, including comics. Surprise us and take risks. 

All visual art submissions will be considered for the cover of the issue. 

Issue Eight will be published online in winter/spring 2023. We pay $20 for each accepted collection of art. Payments can be done via Venmo, Cash App, and PayPal. Visual artists will retain all rights to their work. 

Specific Visual Art Guidelines:

• Please submit as a JPEG or PNG file
• Please only submit up to 6 images at time
• Please only submit art pieces the artist still retains the rights for. Works that have been previously published, posted, and exhibited are allowed as long as the artist still retains the rights.
• If selected for publication, Alien will acquire rights to feature your artwork (while giving you credit) on our website and social media accounts. However, in this agreement, you still retain full rights to your images--including posting on your own social media, reprinting in other publications, selling, exhibiting in galleries, etc.

Donation and Merchandise Information:

Please consider donating and/or buying a sticker with your submission. Here is a link to what the stickers look like: https://twitter.com/alienlitmag/status/1362117722327437312/photo/1. Also, please note we can only ship stickers within the United States and refunds cannot be offered. All proceeds go to the upkeep of our accounts. If we do happen to go over our goal, we donate the excess funds to different causes each month. You can follow our Twitter account to track which fund we donate to. 

Without donations and sticker purchases, Alien couldn't happen.
