FAQ

Here are most frequently asked questions.

  1. How do I submit?
    Follow us on Instagram @boudoirdreamsmag and tag your image @boudoirdreamsmag or use hashtag #boudoirdreamsmag. Or submit a set via e-mail. See our submission guidelines for details. Your images can be seen/shared before but they should not be published in other magazines.
  2. Can I get a free print issue since I am in it (or I shot it)?
    We’re sorry we are not able to give free print issues, but we gladly give free digital tearsheets for you to share on social media.
  3. How much do you pay? Or How much does it cost to be featured in the magazine?
    We do not pay the models/photographers and we do not charge you to be in the magazine.
  4. How can I be featured on cover?
    Every submission is considered for cover.
  5. Can you guarantee a cover feature?
    We have a guaranteed cover submission option - this upgraded service costs $150 for front cover and $90 for back cover feature and it comes with a digital PDF issue, but your photo set needs to be preapproved. Send your set via email for review to boudoirdreamsmag@gmail.com with subject line "Guaranteed Cover Submission". We will only take payment by paypal or venmo if we approve your set.
  6. What are your image resolution requirements?
    We need 300dpi, minimum 2550x3300 dimensions. In windows, use file explorer and right click on image to view the properties. In Mac, right-click on the file name and select properties-detail. We will accept 240dpi, or sometimes even 96dpi if the dimensions are high enough. If you get this reply email “Please provide high res 300dpi, minimum 2550x3300” this means you sent in low resolution images that will not print well. If you send in images not meeting these requirements repeatedly, your submission will be rejected.
  7. What are your image format requirements?
    We prefer vertical or portrait format, but sometimes we accept landscape formats.
    Portrait (vertical format) - 8.5x11 is ideal. This way, we do not crop your work of art.
  8. What image file type do you prefer?
    We prefer JPEG/JPG, but sometimes accept PNG or TIF. We do not accept RAW, PSD or PDF. No cell phone pics please!
  9. What are your deadlines?
    We do not have hard deadlines as we always have ongoing editions.
  10. What editions do you have?
    We do not currently have themed issues in Boudoir Dreams Magazine, but open themed in the boudoir genre for models 18+.
  11. What genres do you accept?
    We accept boudoir artistry, lingerie fashion and art nude.
  12. Where are you based?
    We are based in Southern California, USA.
  13. Do you promote your models featured in your magazine?
    Yes if you provide us your instagram handles, we try to post them on our IG feed @boudoirdreamsmag
  14. Can I be featured in your magazine more than once?
    Yes you can. Same goes for cover feature, but it gets harder to be featured second time, as we try to give new models chance to be featured.
  15. Do the 2-7 images need to be the same model and same photographer?
    Generally each submission should be one model/one photographer to avoid confusion, but your submission can have multiple models as long as they were shot by the same photographer. In this case, please provide clear information on credits including which credits go with which images.
  16. Do the 2-7 images have to be the same look/outfit?
    No they do not have to be the same look. As long as they were shot by the same photographer they are acceptable.
  17. There is a typo in the print issue. Can you send me another one?
    We are careful not to have any typos in the print issue, but it can happen. We are not able to send a replacement copy. Therefore, when you order your print issue on magcloud, PLEASE PREVIEW IT FOR ACCURACY AND MAKE SURE THAT YOUR MODEL IS IN THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE NO TYPOS BEFORE ORDERING. THANK YOU! (Preview button is below the magazine cover image at magcloud)
  18. Can you fix credit information after the submission was made or after the release? Yes, we can fix typos if it is our mistake. If the typos were submitted that way and it is not our fault, there will be a $20 change fee to make the requested changes.
  19. What looks are you looking for?
    Please see our Instagram feed, or the submission call posted on Instagram.
  20. Where are your issues printed?
    We use a print-on-demand service from Magcloud.
  21. I submitted my set via email. How long does it take for you to respond?
    Usually it takes us a few days and up to 14 days to repond. But due to the high volume of emails we receive, we do not reply to spam and submissions that do not follow our submission guidelines.
