!!NEW!! Fashion magazines that accept submissions
Hi everyone, So I've been doing a lot of research on magazines that accept submissions, and I found a couple of threads on MM from some years ago that were very helpful. However, being at least a couple of years old, I found that at least half of the links were broken or the publications no longer existed, so I thought I'd compile a new list and share my findings. I've listed the magazines I found in order from most to least readership (based on Facebook likes, as of 8/16/14), and I've included a link to their submissions guidelines or their contact page. So here ya go... please add on to the list if there are any publications that you know of that aren't on here! ******************************************************* Institute FB Likes: 332,856 Link: http://institutemag.com/category/fashion/ Notes: only publishes online (no print) AnOther FB Likes: 283,255 Link: http://www.anothermag.com/contact Notes: not totally sure they accept submissions, but their disclaimers page does have a clause about contributions, so it's worth a shot Russh FB Likes: 270,883 Link: http://www.russhmagazine.com/contact-us Schön FB Likes: 249,836 Link: http://schonmagazine.com/contact/contribute/ Notes: you have to submit an idea board for them to approve first Z!NK FB Likes: 233,999 Link: http://www.zinkmagazine.com/submission-guidelines/ Bullett FB Likes: 158,491 Link: http://bullettmedia.com/submissions/ Factice FB Likes: 122,526 Link: http://www.facticemagazine.com/contribute.php Notes: they do print and online; print only goes out once every couple of months so there are deadlines, but they print editorials online 3 times a week Superior FB Likes: 111,911 Link: https://superiormagazine.submittable.com/submit Papercut FB Likes: 103,344 Link: http://www.papercutmag.com/submissions Notes: submission process is kind of annoying, they have you upload pictures to their site and fill out details/credits one by one, and they take forever to get back to you, but they have a nice design and a beautiful iPad app Push It FB Likes: 101,963 Link: http://www.pushitmagazine.com/submissions/ Dress To Kill FB Likes: 101,951 Link: http://dresstokillmagazine.com/contact/ Vigore FB Likes: 95,578 http://vigore-mag.com/submissions/ Notes: has some weird rules, so read the disclaimers--among other things, the magazine has all rights over your pictures for 90 days UCE FB Likes: 71,389 Link: http://ucemag.com/submissions/ Notes: has pretty specific themes, so watch out for that Teaser FB Likes: 66,367 Link: http://www.teaser-magazine.com/impressum/ Mint FB Likes: 63,301 Link: http://mint-mag.com/submissions/ Kenton FB Likes: 53,281 Link: http://kentonmagazine.com/contribute/ Dansk FB Likes: 48,377 Link: http://www.danskmagazine.com/about/ 125 FB Likes: 45,486 Link: http://www.125magazine.com/index.php?p_id=5 Notes: there is an entry fee!  also read up about their "image syndication..."

The other one was for online magazines, and yes dated and lots of broken links. Yours is for those who accept online submissions. Very different but complimentary. And of course a great deal of overlap, since the original was supposed to be to help submissions, and yours is likely more accurate and useful. Aug 17 14 05:26 pm Link Thank you so much for putting this list together! I've been putting together folders for publicity-use for magazines, and I missed a few of the ones you've listed here. A few things that may be worth noting, are some of the submission fees that a few of these publications charge. Superior charges a $7 'administrative fee,' whether you are accepted or not. Institute Magazine charges $125 for online features, and $250 to be included in their magazine. This is for what they call a 'design fee,' and has surprised quite a few photographers who have recently submitted. Apologies if those notes are not worth mentioning, but I wanted to put it out there just in case. Thanks again! Aug 17 14 06:35 pm Link If you don't mind me looking a little lost asking, exactly what are these submissions for? I'm new to the modeling industry and I would just like to shed light on exactly what this process is about  Aug 17 14 06:48 pm Link AquarianLove wrote: The short and sweet part of it is that these are fashion magazines that allow photographers (sometimes also models, make up artists, hair stylists, designers, stylists, etc), to submit editorials in exchange for publication in print, digital, or online magazines. It's all in the name of publicity. Aug 17 14 06:59 pm Link My partner and I just released an iOS app that includes 80+ publications that accept submissions: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fashion … 27321?mt=8 Aug 18 14 08:38 am Link Kendra Paige wrote: Thanks for those notes! I just discovered Institute's "design fee" a few days ago actually... I was so excited that they were interested in my editorial, but then they hit me with that 99£ fee (which actually comes out closer to $165). Yuck. And good call on the Superior fee, I'd forgotten about that. It seems sort of crazy to make contributors pay for inclusion when they're already getting free content... but whatever. I'm not a magazine editor. Thanks again! Aug 27 14 10:39 am Link Jeff Rojas wrote: This is fantastic! I've been an avid follower of Lindsay Adler's blog for years, so I'm sure this is a great resource. I'll definitely be downloading this! Thanks! Aug 27 14 10:44 am Link The fees suck, but they do have a ton of Likes and Followers on all social media platforms. So you're basically paying for exposure, if your editorial gets accepted. I hope this doesn't become the trend. Aug 28 14 02:37 pm Link Sabina, you've done something so wonderful and completely over the top - thank you! When I'm in BK next I'll treat you to a coffee & Dough donut!  Aug 29 14 11:01 am Link Kendra Paige wrote: I honestly wouldn't even put Institute on this list since it will lead to a lot of disappointed submitters. I know a local photographer that paid $200 to get his work on there and maybe got 20 likes on his FB page and that was it.

Looking at their FB page, it has been going since Feb 2014 and has only managed 92 likes. That's very poor. Oct 26 14 03:29 am Link Mar 20 15 07:18 pm Link Can add COLE Magazine to the list FB Likes: 5,790 Link: http://colemag.com/submission No fee to submit and a print mag in stores in many countries Mar 30 15 01:38 am Link Kendra Paige wrote: They charge because its kind of a magazine is not making any money, its done in vain..

It's bad enough the ones that want to use your work but can't / don't / won't pay for it, but to ask you to pay them is beyond the pale.

Started a list here: https://www.modelmayhem.com/forums/post/942924 but it went a little off piste. Mar 30 15 07:24 am Link Not to beat a dead horse but yeah, Institute is notorious. Some photographers on here have taken to boycotting them altogether. Moral of the story, "don't ever pay them". There are others that charge, quite less than Institute but still do charge. Dark Beauty is one for example. You don't get your fee back if you aren't published in the mag, it's pure profit for them. My advice it to do your research. It's not just about the number of likes on their fb page. Some of the mags are poorly run, and can't be bothered to respond to questions from readers on their fb page. Many don't update their themes or website information regularly either. These are important things as well. Some mags are more of a popularity contest. If you peruse past issues, you'll see many of the same photographers and models in the issues. It's more of a vanity club than anything else. Apr 28 15 02:02 pm Link Some comments on specific magazines: MINT- done- they haven't updated any info in ages and it seems they have stopped regular issues. Papercut- absolute PITA submission system which must be done of their page, image by image with credits, etc. Dark Beauty- no regular submitter has a chance getting on the cover, they have their favorites and it's decided way before the deadline. They tend to play favorites with certain photographers and models, which appear repeatedly. Gothic Beauty- super slow to respond, but they are actually a newsstand print magazine. They tend to put editorials in their mags that feature independent/ established designers, less so if it's just a one- off editorial. SYN- beautifully done mag but poorly managed and slow to update or respond to readers. Apr 28 15 02:13 pm Link |
