Copyright and Distribution

When Eavesdrop accepts a piece for publication, it asks for English-language first North American serial rights for use in all print and digital editions of the specific issue in which the piece(s) appear(s), as well as publication on Eavesdrop’s website. Eavesdrop strives to be an accessible platform, which means that we will never put up a paywall so folks can love, share, and enjoy art freely and without barriers. This means entire issues will be available on our website indefinitely. Visual works may be used on the Eavesdrop website, social media, and promotional materials for up to 6 months after publication. Copyright reverts to the artist/author immediately after publication, which also means artist work should not appear anywhere else, including personal webpages, until after publication.

If you receive permission to reprint work that originally appeared in Eavesdrop, or if you are an artist whose contribution to Eavesdrop in any way will be appearing elsewhere in print or digital formats, we would very much appreciate that you include in your publication a credit note stating that the piece previously appeared in Eavesdrop Magazine.

Please feel free to contact us with any specific questions you may have about reprinting work from any of our issues.
