Submission Guide
Submissions are invited as long as they fall under
one or more of the following buckets:
Travel, culture, experience, tradition, language, philosophy, nature, environment, society, commentary, opinion, literary art, visual art, design, fashion, food, life, and festivals
The only way to submit all materials is via our Submission Form which can also be found on the website on the Submissions page. You will be required to fill all the
mandatory fields in the Form to the best of your ability.
Submissions are currently not accepted on a rolling basis, the deadline for the First Edition is 24 April 2024. Materials received will be allotted and curated as per the date of their submission, review, the nature of the work, and the existing
capacity and variety of accepted content in the editions itself.
The expected timeframe for you to receive a response or update from us
(which will be via email) is one to two weeks from
the date of submission.
If you believe you’ve got things to share that don’t fall under these guidelines, write to us at submissions@earthpickle.co and we will review your materials and give you our feedback and decision on whether your work can be published.
However, please note that we do not accept film and video submissions currently.
If you face any difficulties while filling in or submitting your Form, contact us and we’ll find a solution for you.
General Guidelines
Text
Submissions
Word Count Range: 200 to 2,000 words
If your text submission exceeds 500 words, you are highly encouraged to submit it with at least one supporting high resolution image as a separate file.
This should not be a part of your main text document but must be uploaded separately but in the same form (under Uploads).
If your submission is in a language other than English,
please submit your work along with an English translation,
or specify the language and mention that you need help
finding a translator while submitting.
Though not mandatory, photographs and art can enhance a reader’s experience.
Formatting Requirements for Text Submissions:
Please do not use US English.
British English and other English accepted.
ALL text submissions (even if they include an image) have to be submitted in a Word document, not PDF.
The text should ideally be double spaced in
Times New Roman, 12-point font, and your document must have 1-inch margins.

Submissions
Formatting Requirements for Photographs:
ALL photographs are to be submitted in JPEG format preferably (although PNG files are accepted on the Google Form in need of backup).
ALL photographs should be a minimum resolution of 300 DPI. If you are unsure what the dimensions of your photograph are, please refer to this guide.
Minimum dimensions of 1200 x 800 pixels are necessary.
Formatting requirements for Illustrations, Drawings, Art:
Submit all illustrations, drawings, and other forms of 2-dimensional art in JPEG and PNG formats and try to adhere to the above guidelines for Photographs as much as you can. Submitting PNG files is a welcome option especially if your
drawing, art, or illustration has a transparent background.
Scans of all kinds of art are accepted as long as they’re of good enough quality.
Mobile scans aren’t encouraged. If your submissions aren’t of viable quality, we will communicate that with you after your submission.
Notes:
Earth Pickle will only publish your work once, and we will not retain rights to publish your work again.
You will receive credit for your work in the magazine and will be featured here on the website if you’ve been in an edition. In the case we intend to publish your work again, you will be contacted for permission.
There are no terms as of now regarding reprints or future use of your work, it is yours and you’re free to send it wherever else. Although it would be appreciated if your submission materials are intended to be exclusive to Earth Pickle. This will help us in achieving the mission to publish original and fresh material with every passing edition.
