Doek! Magazine: Nonfiction and Visual Art Submissions

Doek! seeks nuanced nonfiction writing and riveting visual art which continuously explores new thematic terrain. The editorial team considers the following:

1. Creative nonfiction (such as essays, memoirs, or narrative nonfiction) that explores the known and the unknown; and
2. Visual art (such as illustrations, graphic design, and photography) that shows the viewer hidden parts of the world and themselves.

The editorial team is interested in considering submissions that discuss a wide variety of topics in interesting styles; prospective nonfiction writers and visual artists should read previous issues of Doek! to see the themes and topics that have been previously explored. Storytellers are encouraged to discover fresh narrative territories. In particular, death, grief, and trauma are topics which have been covered extensively in past issues; contributors exploring similar topics are encouraged to find new ways of engaging with such subject matter. Submissions which are directed at the white gaze are not encouraged.
