SUBMISSIONS POLICY Interested in submitting your work to Heavy Metal Magazine for consideration? The following outlines our basic guidelines: 1) Do not send original artwork: Due to the number of submissions received each day, we cannot be held responsible for tracking each and every one.  Copies, color copies, slides, or photographs (not original artwork) will clearly give us all the information we need about your work.  Unless specifically requested to do so by Heavy Metal Magazine, please never send original artwork through the mail. 2) Include contact information:  Always include your full name and a clearly written introduction about yourself as well as how we can contact you (mailing address, phone, fax and email). 3) Return of Materials: If you would like your submission returned, please include a self-addressed, stamped (with correct postage) return envelope. 4) Response Time: Because of the sheer volume of submissions we receive, response time can take up to 60 days or even longer!  We apologize in advance, and thank you for your interest. 5) Heavy Metal Style: Please look over the kinds of work we publish carefully so you get a feel for the kinds of work we are looking for.  Please no bestiality, or bondage! 6) Submission Types: The majority of our featured stories are reserved years in advance for our established European artists.  Therefore, we are mainly looking for short stories-between two to eight pages.  We will be glad to look at any Heavy Metal-esque ideas you have, but short stories have the best chance to get in and be placed quicker. 7) Size: Bleed size is 8-1/8th" X 11-1/8th". Trim size is 8" X 10-7/8ths". Thanks for wanting to share your talent with us and we all look forward to seeing you on the inside!
