I know of the guy they chose to be author of the year and interviewed, so it seems likely that the mag is also legit. It looks like a real submissions page. If you'd like me to, I could do some more legwork, but my instincts say yes. Especially if you have contributed artwork to magazines or sites before, post regularly on forums that this Suspense magazine guy posts on and whatnot. He has nothing to gain but a free illustration and you have nothing to lose but one piece of artwork and something to gain from it all.
