-Please include your email, and website we can promote, so we can communicate with you if your post is accepted and published, and send readers to your online home as well.
-Keep it PG-15. Innuendo is fine (The Corpse Bride, etc…) It can be done. Your tale/image/content doesn’t have to be specifically for youth, but it should be something a youth can read, without content-related horror filling the hearts of the parents if the kidlings get hold of the mag *_^ Think uplift, purposeful-plots (reasons for negative happenings that lead to culturally uplifting themes), or thought-provoking content.
Extended guidelines for all PurpleMag categories are available via Issuu.com/purplemag (Issue 9.5) or purplemag.com You can submit your pieces here for any category.
*You can also submit work for Mythseed (also on tumblr), which doesn’t impose age-restrictions and is more flexible in theme, for its digital publishing, or any of its print issuings (still in development).*
Your submissions may be selected for Purple, as well as HF, or may publish on Mythseed if selected (excerpts are especially welcomed—not incl. extreme erotica).
-Celebrate the glowing grey matter extending multi-cultural Spec Media. We’re interested in stories that highlight the flyer aspects of diverse Spec Media. Negative Racial Stereotypes aren’t so exciting for us.
-You’re stories accepted for PurpleMag’s HF (in print or online) will be accompanied by an illustration, if you don’t provide one, or if you provide one that isn’t the right resolution.
Some stories may be accompanied by an image @ Mythseed (in cases of series, a recurring image may be utilized).
