NAILED Magazine is not accepting submissions at this time.

We apologize that we’re unable to review new work, but our inboxes are bursting!
Please check this page again in the future for updates.

• Our magazine is designed and curated to publish and promote voices that have been historically marginalized. While we’re eager to engage with raw, honest storytelling from a diverse array of artists, priority will be given to BIPOC creators.

• We are dedicated to pointing cultural focus towards issues that we believe are of critical importance (and are too often pushed aside), such as: sexuality, gender, race, death, mental health, radical politics, trauma, identity, and the body.

• We accept only work that has not been previously published. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, provided that you inform us if your work is accepted elsewhere. All rights revert to the author upon publication with NAILED, however, we do ask that any subsequent publication of work originally appearing in NAILED Magazine cite the initial publication.

It may take up to 90 days to accept or decline submissions.

*Note: we are currently experiencing an overflow of submissions and response times may be significantly delayed. We apologize for this inconvenience and assure you we’ll be in contact as soon as we’re able*
