Want to be published in Tantalum Magazine?


EDITORIAL GUIDELINES


Before submitting a story for publication, please read the following guidelines and answers to frequently asked questions. It may seem like a lot, but we swear it will help you stay organized and help our publication speed!


Editorial Length & Construction


Your editorial (fashion or beauty) must be at minimum 6 images long. We have no maximum story length. We are a unisex magazine, and encourage you to submit stories with women, men, and a combination of women and men. Please note: Tantalum Mag reserves the right to further crop, manipulate, or to cut images from the final story to fit with magazine flow.

Clothing


Your story must feature multiple outfits or multiple designers. Please do not send 15 images of the same outfit thinking it’s a fashion story—that’s catalogue and will be rejected.

Nomenclature


Tantalum reserves the right to change the name of your editorial. While we know you love the name you have assigned your editorial, it may not fit with what we are planning for the month. Please know in advance if your editorial name does not quite fit, we will change it.


Compensation


We do not pay for submissions. Any expenses or costs of your editorial are at your own risk. You can however pitch us a story and if we love the concept Tantalum Mag may exclusively provide you a pull letter. Please keep in mind that in order to keep our overhead costs at a minimum we do not provide complimentary print copies to submissions which will be featured.


Proper Credits


Tantalum Mag requires both clothing and artistic credits. A lack of true and proper credits seriously jeopardizes the credibility of both the magazine and your work, so please keep this in mind. If you need more time to pull credits, please seriously consider delaying your submission. See the credit guidelines below for further information.



SUBMISSION PROCEDURES & RESPONSIBILITIES


Submission and artist responsibilities are broken up into a two-part workflow.


Part One: Submitting for publication


Part one is seeing if your story is a cut above. To submit an editorial for publication, please do the following:


  • PLEASE DO:

    • Send an email containing your images to submissions@tantalummag.com

    • ATTACH OR EMBED LOW RESOLUTION IMAGES in the email

    • Provide contact information to contact you if your submission is accepted

  • PLEASE DO NOT:

    • Send high resolution images

    • Do not send a .ZIP file (the images should be in your email body or attached)


Acceptance


If Tantalum Magazine chooses your submission for publication we will respond to you as quickly as possible to notify you. Please note that selected stories must be exclusive to Tantalum Magazine.


Rejection


Please know that due to the volume of editorials we receive that we only respond to those that we accept. If you send us an editorial and do not hear back from us, chances are your editorial was not accepted. We encourage you to keep submitting your stories for future issues.

Your responsibilities after acceptance


If your editorial is accepted a staff member of tantalum will email you with a detailed PDF of instructions for proper image, link and interview submission.



Thank you!

XOXO Team Tan!
