FEATURE ARTICLES

We seek a variety of articles at all levels: beginner, hobbyist, and professional.

You’re an artist, not a writer? Don’t worry. Start by sending a query with a description of the article you have in mind, and the Artisphere editor will work with you to develop the text. (Note: writing assistance is a benefit for IDAL members only.)

What to write?

  • How-to articles: clear instructions on a specific technique
  • Master showcases: noteworthy completed projects
  • Business articles for artisans: policies, pricing, marketing, client relationships
  • Background articles on art history, genres, and other relevant areas
  • Other: Have an idea? Pitch it to us—we’re interested!

HOW TO SUBMIT TEXT:

Recommended limit is 1000 words. We will accept longer manuscripts if appropriate to the subject. The best rule: say what you have to say and then stop.

Paste text only into the body of an email. Please remove page numbers, headers, footers, and unusual formatting before sending.

email to: artisphere@decorativeartisans.org
