Rug Beat is a quarterly online magazine devoted to rug hooking, and is available by subscription for $9.95 per year through the Rug Hooking magazine website. Our goal is to provide information on current events and trends in rug hooking, to present the personalities in rug hooking, to provide an inside look into artists’ studios and homes, and to travel the globe in rug hooking circles. We accept human interest stories, group projects, artist profiles, and simlar stories. We are always excited to show video of rug hooking techniques and tours of places of interest to rug hookers.


We ask that any article you submit has not appeared in any other publication. If it has, please let us know where and when it appeared in print.

Please send us either a query letter with accompanying representative photographs, or the complete manuscript with photographs, video, diagrams, or other supporting materials. Features vary in length from 1000 words to 3000 words, depending on the topic. Feature articles should also include the following sidebar information (if appropriate):
