Submit an article to Planet Nude 🪐
Planet Nude publishes journalism and essays about nudity in art, culture, politics, law, history, and everyday life. Our focus is editorial and analytical, not promotional. We’re interested in how nudity is represented, regulated, debated, and lived.
If your work adds context, insight, or clarity to that conversation, we want to read it.
What we publish
We primarily seek:
Reported news and analysis
Critical or historical essays
Cultural criticism
Personal writing grounded in broader context
Art, media, and book criticism
Profiles and interviews
We prefer articles under 1,500 words, though longer pieces are occasionally accepted when the subject calls for it.
We generally do not publish travelogues, resort reviews, listicles, or promotional content.
Editorial standards
Original, well-written work with clear sourcing where appropriate.
Serious, respectful engagement with nudity as a subject.
No sexualized, voyeuristic, or exploitative framing.
No hate speech or demeaning content.
Rights and publication
Contributors retain full ownership of their work.
By submitting, you grant Planet Nude a nonexclusive license to edit, publish, and distribute the piece on our website, newsletter, social media channels, and related audio formats.
We prefer original, unpublished work. Previously published pieces may be considered in limited cases if disclosed at submission.
For work not previously published elsewhere, we ask for a one-week exclusive premiere window beginning on the publication date. After that window, authors are free to republish the work elsewhere.
Planet Nude reserves the right to edit submitted work for clarity, length, and editorial standards. We will make a good-faith effort to collaborate with authors and seek approval for substantive changes, but final editorial decisions rest with Planet Nude.
Payment
$60 for first-time contributors
$75 for repeat contributors
Payment is issued at the time of publication. Contributors submit an invoice and select a preferred payment method:

Images
All Planet Nude articles include at least one thumbnail images, many include more in-line images as well. We do ask for author input and suggestion on images used in their work.
You must own the image or have permission to use it.
The lead image must be safe for social sharing.
Nonsexual nudity is allowed in supporting images.
All media must comply with Substack’s content rules.
Substack’s media policy, which can be found here, allows for depictions of nudity for artistic, journalistic, or related purposes, as well as erotic literature. However, they have a strict no nudity policy for profile images.

Submitting comics and original art (Strips)
Strips is Planet Nude’s home for original comics, illustrations, and visual storytelling that engage with nudity, body freedom, and everyday naked life.
We welcome:
One-off comics and visual gags
Short comic series or recurring characters
Single illustrations or experimental visual work
Art should be nonsexual, respectful, and aligned with Planet Nude’s editorial tone. Humor, intimacy, awkwardness, and quiet moments are all welcome.
Artists retain full ownership of their work. By submitting, you grant Planet Nude a nonexclusive license to publish the piece on our site, newsletter, and social media.
Compensation, scheduling, and rights for Strips pieces vary by project and are discussed individually.
