"This work is unlike any other, in its range of rich, conjuring imagery and its dexterity, its smart voice. Carroll-Hackett doesn’t spare us—but doesn’t save us—she draws a blueprint of power and class with her unflinching pivot: matter-of-fact and tender." —Jan Beatty

I was out of town with sick family (good thoughts, good energy, prayer in whatever your fashion appreciated), so we’re gonna pretend it’s still Friday, and get some

Call for Submissions Love!

Apogee

About

“Apogee is a literary journal specializing in art and literature that engage with issues of identity politics: race, gender, sexuality, class, and hyphenated identities. We currently produce a biannual issue featuring fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and visual art. Our goal is to publish exciting work that interrogates the status quo, providing a platform for unheard voices, including emerging writers of color.

The word “apogee” denotes the point in an object’s orbit that is farthest from the center. Our mission combines literary aesthetic with political activism. We believe that by elevating underrepresented literary voices we can effect real change: change in readers’ attitudes, change in writers’ positions in literature, and broader change in society.”

 

Submit

Submissions for Issue 6 are now open! Issue 6 will be published in print fall/winter 2015. Here are our guidelines:

    • – We accept original poetry, short fiction, and nonfiction.
    • – Please keep your prose submissions under 6,000 words and send no more than 3 poems for consideration.
    • – Send your submissions in either .doc or .docx format.


Apogee Journal’s dual purpose is to showcase writers from the periphery and to provide a platform for all writers to thoughtfully engage with issues of race, class, and identity. Our goal is to publish exciting work that sits at some distance from the mainstream and to provide a forum where unheard issues and voices can rise to the fore. To get a sense of what we publish, please browse our previous two issues or click here to order a hard copy of our current issue: http://www.apogeejournal.org/issue-three/

Special Wednesday Call for Submissions: MIEL: Nonfiction & Poetry Chapbooks

Special Wednesday Call for Submissions

Nonfiction writers! Poets too! Got a chapbook? Send it in!  

Only 1 week left to submit!

MIEL

“We are looking to add four more chapbooks: two of poetry (of any kind), two of prose (fiction, nonfiction, hybrid, cross-discipline, multigenre).”

“We encourage women writers, non-binary writers, trans writers, and writers of color to send work.

We are looking for work that is experimental or conceptual without a disregard for embodiment.

We are looking for work that is socially aware and alive.

We are looking for work that feels like springtime.

We would love to see work about faith, religion, science, nature, history, power, philosophy, politics, art.”

About

MIEL was established in 2011 to promote and publish difficult, innovative, intelligent, and deeply felt writing and visual art.

As a small, independent press, we exist because of subscriptions and book sales. You can support us by purchasing books in our shop.

We read manuscript submissions in June via Submittable. We read work for our biannual literary magazine 111O much of the year.

Guidelines

Open reading 2015

We will read work in June for chapbooks to add to our 2016 list. You can send work to us via Submittable. (Note that we are on Belgian time, which means our June 1 may begin before yours, and our June 30 may end before yours.)

For our 2015 reading period, there will be no reading fee. If you would like to make a gesture of support for the press, please take a look at the books in our shop and purchase one. (You can use the code IHEARTMIEL2015 for 30% off from June 1 – 30, Belgian time.) All work will be given consideration regardless of purchase.

Our 2016 list already contains three art chapbooks, two poetry chapbooks, and two nonfiction chapbooks. We are looking to add four more chapbooks: two of poetry (of any kind), two of prose (fiction, nonfiction, hybrid, cross-discipline, multigenre). Reading the work we have already published is the best way to see whether your work would be a good fit for MIEL. There are sample texts in each book page in the shop, as well as many sample poems on our website.
