Friday Call for Submissions Love! Apeiron Review
Issue 11 | Apeiron Review
Deadline: March 1- 31, 2016
Send us beauty, dirt, despair, and hope. Make us feel with the depth of your words and art. 3K word limit on fiction & nonfiction; flash up to 1K; submit no more than 3 poems – free verse is favored along with other styles that showcase skill more than simply rhyme. Genre fiction is not encouraged. Novice writers welcome. Full cover letter not needed.
Guidelines from their website:
Please make sure to read our terms. By submitting to Apeiron Review you are agreeing with our Terms.
What We Want
We want something real, something beautiful, something ugly, and something that sings to the far reaches of our being. Make us laugh or make us cry, but we want something visceral. Free verse poems are generally favored over those that rhyme. Experimentation is encouraged. There are no limits on form, but please keep short stories and nonfiction to 3k or less.
We do accept flash fiction with 1k word counts or less.
We are open to submissions for our main issue two times a year.
General submissions:
Open March 1-31: Publication will occur in September.
Open September 1-30: Publication will occur in March.
Weekly Featured Content: Currently Closed
Seasonal poems, short short stories, and creative nonfiction are accepted on a rolling basis for publication on our site. This is a completely separate feature from our bi-annual magazine. Continue to our Submittable page (by clicking on the giant Submit buttons at the top and bottom of this page) for more information.
Photography
We are looking for brutal, surreal, experimental, and/or beautiful photography. Send us your best (high resolution) photos.
Terms
Apeiron Review takes one-time non-exclusive electronic rights and archival rights to your work.
We are always eager for nonfiction pieces, however we ask that the writer be prepared to support their story and assist, if necessary, with verifying statements of fact. The writer assumes all responsibility for inaccuracies. Essentially, we will do our very best to make sure that no one will be harmed in the publishing of a true story, but in the end, it’s on the writer to avoid slander and untrue statements.
Accepted submissions may be edited for spelling, grammar, and punctuation. We will not make large changes without first providing you with a proof for your review prior to publication.
Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but please let us know if a piece is published elsewhere. We do not accept reprints.
At this time we do not mail out contracts. Currently, by submitting to us you are agreeing to the above terms.
Payment
Currently there is no payment for publication. We’re working on this.

Friday Call For Submissions Love <3 Uproot
UPROOT
Uproot is a literary journal housed at the University of Illinois Springfield whose main interest lies in place–more specifically, moving from place to place. We’re interested in geological and emotional estrangement, displacement, alienation, longing, and all of the other contradictory feelings associated with moving to a new/old location. We want to read and share literature that challenges notions of genre, work that pulls you up by the roots and plants you somewhere else, somewhere unexpected.
General Submission Guidelines:
We are especially interested in hybrid works, including flash fiction, prose poetry, and the lyric essay. Our only limitation is that submissions fall under 5,000 words and contain no more than 6 individual works.
Please submit work as either .doc/.docx file or PDF file as attachments.
We do not accept work that has been copied and pasted into the body of an email.
Please submit a brief 60 word bio written in the 3rd person.
Please send only original, unpublished work.
We do accept simultaneous submissions.
If your work has been published elsewhere please let us know so we can retract your submission.
We do not accept multiple submissions. We will only accept one submission per person per submission window.
Current submission window for next issue is 2/5/16-3/5/16.
Please send submissions to uprootmagATgmailDOTcom

Friday Call For Submissions Love! EXPERIMEMENTOS
Call for Submissions: EXPERIMEMENTOS, Third Issue
Deadline: February 29, 2016
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Submit a poem, story, excerpt, essay, e-mail, chat log, whatever! Strong preference toward experimental works and/or a desire to obtain an experimental work through the editing process. Anything deemed not experimental or “good” enough may be edited. [see below]*. Artwork submissions will also be considered (and possibly edited).
Please limit submissions to 500 words, unless it’s REALLY REALLY REALLY good. There is not much space in this magazine and each page adds a headache. Submissions over 500 words are liable to being thrown out.
*By submitting, you agree to many things:
- Your piece may be edited into an entirely different work, though you will receive credit as the primary author. [NOTE: no words will be added to your piece without your permission; they will only be subtracted and/or rearranged.]
- EXPERIMEMENTOS acquires first serial rights. After publication, all rights revert to you, except in cases involving editing like the above, in which rights will be shared jointly by author and editor.
- Your piece will be featured in print and on this website, in the form of an online magazine and possibly quotes in the SCRAPS section.
