You should expect to hear from a member of our team by email within TWO weeks of your submission. In the event you do not hear back, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Your submission either hasn’t made its way to us, or we need a sweet pestering!
Accepted Submissions Next Steps
In the event your submission is accepted, we will follow up with the publication date, the platform where the submission will be featured (online, digital magazine, print magazine, or custom content), and the next steps. Once accepted, the submission is exclusive to RMB for initial publication.
Denied Submissions
You will receive an email letting you know the submission cannot be accepted. There are many reasons submissions are denied. The most common reasons are failure to fill out the necessary information, frequency of type of submission, submission being out of season, RMB’s need to maintain a balance between locations, not falling within RMB’s aesthetic, not enough content, time since submission occurred, and submission not being from within the region.
