In addition to our creative art submissions, we also consider Community Interest Feature pieces for our issues. If you have an idea for a Feature piece that would be a great fit for our current issue cycle, we’d love to hear from you!
Feature pitches are due during the same time as the other magazine submissions. If your pitch is accepted, we’ll reach out to you and pair you with an Editor who will work with you to develop your Feature for publication in the magazine.
Accepted work will be published in our magazine issue and/or online on this website. As Marías at Sampaguitas is a free-to-submit and free-to-access magazine, we are unable to pay contributors at this time.
