We want to publish your art!
Airport Road (NYUAD’s student creative publication) is now accepting submissions for our 15th issue by students and recent graduates of all NYU sites. We accept both visual and written work of many forms, including but not limited to short fiction, photography, poetry, prose, comics, paintings, screenplays, presentations and creative nonfiction.
This semester’s Airport Road is not a special issue, meaning we are open to submissions that explore any subject or theme, but we are especially interested in work that responds to the theme SORROW, drawing from John Koenig's book The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, a book that attempts to "fill the gaps in our language of emotion."
TEXTS Text documents should be submitted in Microsoft Word .docx format. Generally, the maximum length for prose pieces is 3000 words. If your text requires special formatting, please also attach a PDF version. The editorial staff, however, will not consider submissions that are submitted only in PDF format.
IMAGES If you are submitting an image (painting, photograph, drawing) please make sure that your image is titled, even if that title is "Untitled I." The image must be in JPG or TIF format and in the highest resolution available.
Please name your files according to this protocol: authorsurname-title-twodigitnumber. ex. srinivasan-palaceofdreams-01.jpg / lee-untitled-03.jpg.
LANGUAGES Airport Road accepts submissions in all languages. However, because the shared language of our readership and our editorial board is English, we ask that you include an English language translation alongside your submission. We encourage translational collaborations, such as the same text translated into multiple languages by various people.
MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS If you are submitting multiple entries (whether text or image), please make sure that each entry is submitted separately. Doing so will enable us to review your work more easily and accurately.
