Welcome to 'With Painted Words'
With Painted Words is a monthly, online literary magazine. It was founded in September 2009 and our first issue was released on October 31, 2009.
The way that With Painted Words works is slightly different from other magazines; every month a new image is chosen as a prompt and, for that month, all submissions must have used it as their inspiration – no matter how slight, vague or metaphorical it is there must be some form of link between the image and the work.
If you want to submit a story, poem or artwork, visit the submissions page for full guidelines. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
