It is time again for the quarterly issue of "Mused", the Bellaonline Literary Review. Mused is a very interesting and entertaining quarterly magazine featuring works by the readers and editors of BellaOnline. Entries are currently being accepted for the Winter 2009 issue.

Anyone who has work they would like to share is welcome to submit a digital scan or digital photograph for consideration. Since this is the painting section, I am posting the link to the artwork informational page: Submission Guidelines for Artwork and Photography. From there, you can look at the last issue of Mused, read the guidelines and go to the form for submission of your work.

I would certainly encourage anyone who has a piece of work ready to submit it. There is no cost to submit your work and think of the bragging rights if your piece is accepted! ;-}

This is quoted directly from the Submission Guidelines for Artwork and Photography Page:

"Just to give you some ideas, you can submit images of:
* paintings
* drawings
* origami
* pottery
* wood turned bowls
* polymer clay sculptures
* sand castles
* hand woven rugs
* tatting

Because we are family friendly, we cannot accept images which involve nudity."

Unfortunately, the deadline has sneaked up on me and all submissions must be made by this Saturday, Nov 7, so you will have to hurry.

If you don't have something ready but would like to submit something in the future, it would be a good idea to follow one of the links in this article and learn about the guidelines so you can get it in next time. And I will try to get the word out earlier for the Spring edition.

The past issues of Mused are available here: Previous Issues.

You can also read the issues online, download a PDF version or even buy a print copy! Whatever form you prefer is available here: Subscription Information.

At the bottom of the subscription page is also an email subscription form that will be sure you are updated as the next issue of Mused is being prepared for publication.

BellaOnline is a wonderful resource for many types of information. We have well over 300 editors writing articles, each on their own subject. There is never any charge to participate and the information you can get concerning almost any subject you are interested in is astounding!

You can join newsletters about any subject and you will only receive news about that subject. You information is never shared, not even with newsletters about other topics. I certainly hope you will join the Painting newsletter if you haven't already done so!

Happy Painting!
