t'ART is a collective that creates space for words, pictures, performance, music and the possibilities of creativity. thanks for visiting.
This year we are excited to be bringing you 'Sucking Face', an anthology of queer and trans kisses and an accompanying exhibition.
And both are opening for submission on the 16th February!
Tell us your stories of queer and trans kisses, long and soft, remembered and forgotten. The ones that nearly happened, the ones that were only dreamt about it, the ones that changed everything.
Tell us with words, through poetry, fiction, non-fiction and hybrid works. Tell us visually, with art, painting, photography, sculpture.
We look forward to spending time with your work.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Deadline: Midnight, 31st March
GENERAL SUBMISSIONS GUIDELINES
Sucking Face is an anthology of queer and trans kisses and an accompanying art exhibition. You can submit to either the anthology or the exhibition, or to both. Please only submit if you identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
We DO accept simultaneous submissions (although please let us know immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere). We will let artists know if they have been accepted by May. We may work editorially with you.
The best way to find out about the sort of work we love to publish is to buy yourself a copy of one of our recent publications!
We run t'ART on a voluntary basis and don't currently have the funds to pay contributors but all contributors will receive a physical copy of the anthology.
ANTHOLOGY: PROSE SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
We accept prose submissions of up to 3000 words, across fiction and creative non-fiction, including prose poems and hybrid works. Please do not submit more than one piece to each volume. Please ensure the file you upload is labelled with the title of your piece and your name in the file name. We DON'T accept previously published work (including work published on social media or blogs).
ANTHOLOGY: POETRY SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
You can submit up to three poems. The anthology will be a book-sized publication so you should consider this if your poem involves complex formatting. If you are submitting multiple poems please upload them in a single document and ensure the file is labelled with your name in the file name. We DON'T accept previously published work (including work published on social media or blogs).
ANTHOLOGY: ART SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
You can submit up to 5 artworks. Please ensure each file is labelled with your name in the file name.
