Aesthetica
Magazine - the cultural arts publication
The culture magazine for the emerging arts
- is calling for submissions on a rolling basis. Aesthetica is
undergoing somewhat of a change. They are still a firmly
contemporary magazine concerned with the Arts in general, but
specifically with writing, the visual arts, music, and film.
"Like the oft-referenced caterpillar", they say, "we hope that
our next issue will emerge as something rather more beautiful.
As such, the focus of our magazine will change from poetry and
prose to creative writing of any form. We'd particularly like
to increase the representation of essays, articles, reviews and
features presented between our new and very glossy covers".
They accept submissions for features, articles, reviews, short
stories, poems, artwork, and photography. Get more information
from their web site: www.aestheticamagazine.com/

Information/ Submission.
