    Contributor Rights & Publication Details

    At this time, The Khaotic Good™ does not offer payment or prizes for contributions. However, each issue features a selected artist beyond the central theme, with a rotating spotlight to showcase additional work and provide fresh exposure every month.
    As a growing publication, I’m deeply excited about the direction this magazine is taking and the community forming around it.


    Contributors retain full rights to their work.
    Your words remain entirely yours.
    While reprinting or rebranding the magazine as a whole is not permitted, individual contributors are free to use their own work as they wish. Each contributor may request copies of their individual pages for printing, display, or personal use. These pages will include only your content and design, provided without page numbers, and may be shared freely with proper credit to The Khaotic Good™.
    Each issue is available in both digital and print formats and is fully designed under The Khaotic Good™ branding.


    As the sole designer, editor, and publisher, I put immense care and effort into bringing each monthly issue to life. This magazine exists as a space of creativity, connection, and community, where stories are shared with those who need the words the most.
    I’m honored to support the artists who choose to contribute.

  • July: Volume II, Issue V - Return: The Reclamation of Self

    | Submissions Open May 20 - June 15th
  • Our July 2026 issue, Return: The Reclamation of Self, explores the journey of uncovering who you were before survival, shame, fear, and the expectations of the world distorted your reflection.

    This theme is about the moment the lens you viewed yourself through begins to crack. When the things you carried that were never truly yours begin falling away piece by piece. It is about meeting yourself again after years of disconnection. About looking into the mirror and feeling recognition instead of distance for the very first time.

    Reclamation is not becoming someone new. It is returning to the self buried beneath the soot, the masks, and the pieces of yourself you burned away just to survive.

    This month, we invite raw, emotionally honest work exploring identity, rediscovery, healing, survival, grief, authenticity, self-abandonment, reconnection, softness, rage, becoming, and return.

    Writing, art, photography, and mixed media submissions are welcome.

    Submissions are open until June 15, 2026 @ 11:45pm EST
    Issue releases July 6th, 2026.
