What We Publish
Here are the topics we cover and some of the mediums we publish. However you interpret them is up to you. Make sure to check out existing content to get an idea of what we've published in the past and if your work might be a fit for us!
The TLDR? If it's local to Wilmington and it is art or it's art about art, we're interested.

We know your art and words are worth a lot, and we want to pay you when we can. We have a limited monthly budget for each category, with payments varying based on word counts and whether it appears both online and in print or online only. Eventually, we aim to be able to pay artists more for each article.

When & Where We Publish
​​
Back in the day, encore was published weekly. Now, we print four issues each year (winter, spring, summer, fall). Each issue is printed on a 20K run and distributed throughout the Cape Fear region. We publish online content round. We like to let a print issue have its moment in the spotlight before we add its online content to the website. When the spring issue is printed, we'll post the winter content online, and so on. We'll consider your work for both print and online unless you indicate otherwise. Right now, we're particularly interested in articles on local food and film for upcoming printed issues.
