long con magazine is a digital arts & literature quarterly that publishes art about art. While based in Kjipuktuk, Mi’kma’ki (known by settlers as Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada), we welcome submissions from established & emerging artists across the world. Submissions are accepted year-round on a rolling basis, and we regularly publish issues in winter, spring, summer, and fall.
long con magazine, long con workshops, and Collusion Books are a unified not-for-profit operation. All revenue from purchases and donations is used to pay artists & authors and to keep the lights on.
