Submission Guidelines for Artists
Final Submission: Please ensure your artwork is finalized before submitting.
Content: We are looking only for BIPOC-focused pieces. NSFW art is welcome for this piece.

Bio and Headshot/Logo: Submit a brief bio and a headshot or logo by the deadline.
Acknowledgments: Optional. If you wish to include acknowledgments, submit them by the deadline.
Artwork Donation: All artwork contributed to the anthology is considered a donation piece. You may choose to charge individual authors an outside fee for commercial use (these fees are not covered by Olympus & Co. LLC), but the anthology contribution itself is for charity only.
Social Media Sharing: You are welcome to share your anthology pieces on social media. If your artwork is tied to a specific story, please confirm with the author before posting to avoid spoilers.
Ordering & Selling Copies
You may order copies at print cost for personal use or events.
If selling at events, you are required to send the net proceeds (after printing costs and taxes) to Olympus & Co. LLC via PayPal (Authorkmwoods@olympusnco.com) or Venmo (@olympusnco) within 14 days.
If you have leftover copies, you are only required to pay the donation amount for books sold at the event. If sold later, donation amounts are due at that time.
Selling personal copies for profit or not providing accurate donation information will result in loss of future print-cost privileges.
