"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

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

Formerly based in San Francisco, EXPERIMEMENTOS has relocated to Rochester, NY and is preparing its third issue. The primary focus is poetry, though short prose works, as well as pretty much any type of writing/art, are considered. We are attracted to experimentation, so give us your envelope pushers, your external boxers, your noodle scratchers.
For more information about our editing process (which is very different from most magazines!), please read the submission guidelines found here: www.experimementos.com/submissions/.

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.

Submissions and questions go to here:
experimementos@gmail.com

Special Mid-Week Call for Submissions: Red Savina Review: Depth & Spirit

Red Savina Review

Open to Submissions for Spring

“We believe in concepts such as existential noir, depth, and spirit.”

Submissions accepted year-round.

RSR is seeking general submissions of poetry, flash fiction, and flash creative nonfiction for their upcoming Spring 2016 issue.

Guidelines: www.redsavinareview.org/submit-2/

“Surprise us: We like writing that challenges you, the writer: writing that drags you out of your comfort zone, refuses to stroke your sense of self-esteem, writing that DARES you to let it have its say. Send us polished but evocative work. We like your truth, raw, authentic, brave, witty, thought-provoking, edgy, bold and spicy. We are partial to borderland themes just as we are to the red savina habanero but do not discriminate against other hot peppers or regions. If you happen to be fond of ghost peppers and live in Maine, as long as your love of language is authentic, give us a try. It’s not who you know or where you go, it is what you write. An exploration of the meaning of authenticity is key, no matter where you live, what you look like, or where you went to school.”

__________________________________________

They are also seeking poetry submissions to their Denise Levertov Memorial Poetry Prize

Deadline: March 21, 2016. Fee: Only $8.00 entry.

Entries judged by RSR Poetry Editors. Prize: $250.

Very Special Call for Submissions

Very Special Call for Submissions

HIV Here & Now

from publisher Michael H. Broder 

It’s that time again. The submission and solicitation wells are dry. The HIV Here & Now Project WEBSITE needs new work FAST (I have nothing for today, for example, let alone the next 152 days). NEW OR PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED poems or short (up to 500 words) prose pieces. By any poet regardless of HIV status. Preferably touching on HIV in some way shape or form, even if metaphorical. Our key advocacy themes are testing, treatment, prevention, dispelling shame, and eliminating stigma. You can really use any of those ideas as a way into a poem that never even mentions HIV or AIDS. Or just any pieces you think would work on the site. You’re a poet! Use your imagination!!

While I appreciate the dedication, please do not submit if your work has already appeared on the site; we are trying not to repeat poets or writers.

Send work to michael@indolentbooks.com. Include a face pic and a brief bio emphasizing your publications.

Previous HIV Here & Now Project poets and writers, please solicit one poet or writer directly, post this on your timelines and share with your groups and other social networks. (I’ll tag 20 of you each week.)
