Genres & Theme
Literary Open to all / most themes Beeswax Magazine is an independent journal of literature and art based in Oakland, California. We come from an eclectic background of music, writing, printmaking and visual art, and our foremost goal in Beeswax is to create a medium that approaches writing and art in a new way that encourages everything from collaboration to cross-genre work. Beeswax Magazine publishes fiction, poetry, nonfiction and visual art, but we are open to cross-genre and/or unclassifiable work, too.

Before Submitting
We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close overnight. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Just remember ...

• Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
• Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
• Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
• For novel/collection publishers, it is standard to submit a cover letter, synopsis, and sample instead of the full manuscript.  Do this unless otherwise instructed.
• Include a SASE with all mailed submissions, queries, and requests for guidelines.
• Be professional, patient and persistent.
