What to Submit to PPM
PPM publishes art and writing centered on woman, be this the mundane, the fantastical, or with feminist influences. When considering what might fit our vision, consider the following. We seek art and writing that provokes deeper reflection. We strive to bring our readers striking and powerful art and writing that inspires. Our diverse membership spans the globe and is comprised of well-established artists and writers to new and emerging. Our vision is to give voice to women's issues and experiences. If something fits the current issue, that is what will define it being accepted for publication.
✦ This is a WOMEN ONLY publication. This does not mean we wish to exclude men's voices in our discussions or forums that may later be included in an issue, rather that the works we publish have to be generated or owned by the woman submitting them.
✦We're a publication and environment for women and will celebrate all art and writing that reflects women's issues in our current environment. With each publication, our hope is to have things be stimulating.
✦ We look to promote work that embodies the female at the center of experience, whether it be political, professional, personal, domestic, relational, social, and/or spiritual. The guideline for how well these elements fit the vision of the mag will depend on how the central focus of the piece remains on the woman inside and outside of these influences.
✦ Our forums and publications will work actively to promote these interest topics and issues.
SUBMIT WRITING & ART
All submissions should go through our Submittable portal. Include a brief bio--under 150 words--in the body of your submission. To ensure your work gets the right editors' attention, you will be prompted to select a genre: Art, Poetry, Fiction, Creative Nonfiction, or Article/Interest Piece/Query.
ART
Send up to ten images as .jpg attachments. If we need a higher resolution version of an image for publication purposes we'll notify you. Not sure what PPM is looking for? See images in previous issues or throughout our website.

POETRY, FICTION & PERSONAL ESSAY
Send up to five poems per submission or up to two short stories or personal essays in a single file attachment. While we will consider republishing writing, priority is given to first time publication of a piece. [Photo credit: Jaeda DeWalt]
BECOME A CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Interested in becoming a contributing writer and developing or reprinting an article in a future issue? Send a 150-word query or a link/file for previously published articles. PPM aims to include at least two articles each issue developed by contributing writers. We have also selected essays on art, art history, or other related topics when they fit that edition’s interests. Articles and queries that fall into any of these categories are welcome.

Contributor Copies
Due to the high print quality of the publication and the amount of artists and writers we include in each issue, PPM is not able to supply free contributor copies to individuals whose work is featured in an issue. Each edition will offer a free electronic download in addition to print purchase options.
