Submission Guidelines

Submissions for our 2026 print edition are now closed. Please check back in late 2026 for information about our next annual print issue! We no longer accept rolling gallery submissions.

SAGE Magazine seeks provocative, critical, beautiful, captivating work from emerging and established environmental writers and artists. We welcome pieces ranging from playful to pensive. Our throughline is to strengthen and explore the relationship between humanity and the environment.

SAGE welcomes personal essays, narrative journalism, poems, short stories, photo essays​, and visual art with an environmental angle. Please send only previously unpublished work. Simultaneous submissions are welcome, but please withdraw your submission if it is accepted elsewhere.

General Guidelines:

We accept environmentally related work including:

• Prose (personal essays, narrative journalism, and short stories up to 3,000 words)
• Poetry
• Photo essays
• Visual art
