Submission Guidelines
Thank you for considering Be Grape for your work! Please read these guidelines on submitting and pitching to us.
Pitch us a submission for publication
Be-Grape accepts submissions and pitches for original work from writers and journalists around the world.
Pitches must be written out with subject, proposal of work and medium : we currently accept work for PRINT publication : visual art and photography, poetry, written prose, long form essay and columns.
If sending artwork please send us artwork pics in PDF format with description of materials and medium (please don't just send us an email with links to your social media or website).
We are a small team and receive many submissions and pitches each day. We’re unable to confirm receipt of submissions. We generally only respond if we are interested in publishing your piece, so we strongly recommend submitting simultaneously to other publications.
We will not accept any submission or pitch written or edited using generative AI tools such as ChatGPT.
Please email essay submissions, story pitches, reading list ideas, and other queries to our main editorial inbox at info@be-grape.com
Submission for publication
Essays and columns typically run between 2,000 and 6,000 words. Pieces may be longer or broken up into a series depending on the length and subject matter. We work with established, emerging, and unpublished writers and journalists.
Please submit 12 inch font Times New Roman, 1.5 spacing
If we don’t accept your initial pitch, try again. We reject stories for a variety of reasons: a story may not be quite right for us, and sometimes it’s all about timing.
