"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

Special Thursday Call for Submissions :-) Shapeshifting

Little Patuxent Review

Seeking Works that Witness Shape Shifting

Submissions

Little Patuxent Review will accept submissions of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and artwork for the Winter 2016 Myth issue.

Mythology both shapes and reflects culture—forming a bridge between individual and universal experience. How do you cross the bridge from past to present—or from individual to universal? How do you travel the mythic quality of life? LPR seeks works that witness shape shifting in micro and macro ways. Orhan Pamuk, winner of the 2006 Nobel prize in literature suggests: “The writer who shuts himself up in a room and goes on a journey inside will, over the years, discover literature’s eternal rule; he/she must have the artistry to tell their own stories as if they were other people’s stories, and to tell other people’s stories as their own…”

Submissions are open from August 1, 2015 to October 24, 2015.

Little Patuxent Review is a community-based publication focused on writers and artists from the Mid-Atlantic region, but all excellent work originating in the United States will be considered.

Although our issues are organized around themes, we allow considerable leeway in how contributors interpret them in order to ensure access to the broadest range of high-quality work.

Friday Call for Submissions Love!

Sediments Literary-Arts Journal

About

Sediments Literary-Arts Journal is a quarterly online literary journal that features work from new and emerging writers and artists as well as the established ones who inspire them. We understand how hard it is to get that first publication under your belt. The process can sometimes be disheartening. Unsure of what publishers really want, new artists can be blown with the wind, changing their aesthetic and losing their passion in order to conform to standards they think publishers want. Here at Sediments, we provide a platform where you can deposit your artistic style.  We want your submissions to be compelling, thought-provoking, and force us to question our reality. We love diversity, and we are obsessed with controversy. Help us build a rock of unpublished artists whose voices are finally scratching the surface of the literary sphere. We accept poetry, flash fiction, short stories, and art.

Submit to Sediments

Sediments Literary-Arts Journal accepts poetry, short stories, and art. Accepted work will be published to the homepage every Sunday at 11AM, as well as be collected into a quarterly, digital zine. View previous issues here.

  • Images of your artwork must be in jpeg, png, or tiff format.
  • All submitted artwork will automatically be considered for the cover art of that issue.

  • Separate ONE poem per page.
  • We’d love to see prose/narrative or lyrical poems and poems that experiment with form.
  • Submit your poems about anything. We accept poems on a variety of topics, humorous or serious. We’re not against love poems, but give those love poems some edge, something we’ve never seen before!

Fiction

  • Please submit ONE short story up to 3,500 words or no more than THREE flash fiction pieces up to 1,000 words each.
  • Flash fiction pieces should be in ONE document. Each story should start on a new page.

  • Your pieces should be well-written, adult literary fiction.
  • Although we welcome genres like science fiction, horror, fantasy, and even erotica, your stories should be written within the scope of adult literary fiction with elements of the aforementioned genres very subtle.

Friday Call for Submissions: Spank the Carp: Wading Into the Stream

Spank the Carp

About

SPANK the CARP publishes unique, thought-provoking fiction and poetry that isn’t obscure or pretentious. Our goal is to invite readers to wade into the stream, not make them afraid of water for fear it’s too cold.

We look for tight, pithy Flash Fiction and Short Stories of any genre, including sci-fi and humor, except fantasy and erotica.

We also look for poetry that takes chances, including concrete or “shape” poetry.

NOTE: Each issue will include only four to six works, with a mix of fiction and poetry. There will be no set timetable; only when we feel we have a good variety will we publish an issue.

Guidelines

We publish fiction and poetry from any author including as yet unpublished writers or writers with only a few publications under their belt.  

PREFERRED CONTENT
Any genre, including hard science fiction, though PLEASE no fantasy, erotica, or sappy romance. Humor is good.

Flash Fiction (around 800 words or less). 

Short stories (around 6000 words or less).

Poetry that is lyrical, where you’ve paid as much attention to the sound of the words as to their meaning. Also concrete or shape poetry.

Regardless, we prefer works that cut to the chase, that are pithy, and have a sense of importance (without overdoing it). And by that we mean, you wrote something you felt needed to be written and put out there in the world.

CONTENT NOTES
Please DO NOT SUBMIT anything erotic, sexual, pornographic, or portraying gratuitous violence. Think PG-13, maybe PG-18. Also do not submit political or religious screeds disguised as fiction or poetry. Sensitive thought-provoking actual fiction that makes a general religious or political point, like something utopian or dystopian is okay, just no preaching. It won’t even be considered. Same goes with anything erotic, sexual, pornographic, or violent.

Anything you submit must be your own original creation. It must never have been published on any website or print publication that you do not personally own. If it has appeared only on your own blog or website or your own self-published printed material it is considered self-published. In this case, as long as you are the sole copyright owner, we will accept your work for consideration for reprint.

PAST PONDS ARTWORK and PHOTOS
I’m looking for images and photos that depict Carp and Koi in artistic and natural settings. See the Past Ponds page for examples. A one sentence bio will appear under your image or photo. Submission process, compensation, and terms are the same as for written work.

Submission Process
All stories must be submitted via email. We will respond as quickly as possible. Expect a 30 to 45 day turnaround time.

Please submit one short story, one flash, or two poems at a time. Simultaneous submissions are fine but please inform us if your submission is accepted for publication elsewhere.

Please include:
– A docx, doc, or rtf formatted document. For visual poetry, png or jpg only.
– A two sentence max description of your work.
– Do not send a formal bio. If your work is accepted we will contact you for a formal bio. DO however tell us whether you have been published before.

Email to: the_carp (at) spankthecarp.com  with the word Submission as the subject.

Compensation
No compensation can be offered at this time. If accepted, your work will appear prominently on the home page, with a link to it’s own page. This can easily be linked to from a personal or other website. Also, since we seek quality over quantity, in the issue in which your work appears, you will appear with only a few other authors and not buried in a sea of screen clutter.

Terms and Agreements
If we accept your work, we ask for First Serial Rights until publication. After publication all rights revert back to the author. Also your work will remain in our past issues archives unless you ask us to remove it. Exceptions to these terms can be granted on a case by case basis, just ask.

Friday Call for Submissions: carbonate: Satisfy Your Read

Friday Call for Submissions: carbonate: Satisfy Your Read

carbonate

Deadline for Fall issue: August 31, 2015

About

carbonate is a quarterly literary magazine published online in January, April, July, and October. We accept submissions of poetry, essays, short fiction, novel excerpts, art, and photography year-round.

Originating in the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, carbonate® is produced by The Foundry/Rocky Mountain Centre for Writing, a non-profit organization increasing access and visibility of the literary arts in the mountain regions.

We are seeking deeply human, fully realized work from far and wide, and always hope to include voices new to us and new to publication. We publish online: one story, one portfolio of poems, one essay or piece of narrative nonfiction, and visual art. Subscribers and selected contributors get the full edition electronically in a beautifully formatted, full color e-book.

We’re exceptionally partial to works that are well-written and engaging.

Please send us work that truly resonates and brings the reader to a new place. The online journal also publishes interviews with accepted authors and artists. Please inquire before submitting interviews.

We’ll take a look at everything, but boring work will probably not find a home here. Send us your best. Try something new. We might love it.

Deadline for Fall issue: August 31, 2015

Send your submission as an attachment to: carbonatemagazine@gmail.com

Put your contact information and a short bio in the body of the email.

Submission Guidelines

Short Fiction: 5,000 words or less.

Short fiction submitted to the magazine must be original and previously unpublished. carbonate considers work that has appeared online (including on blogs and Facebook) to be previously published.

All manuscripts must be typed and double-spaced, with the author’s name, address, phone number, and approximate word count at the top of the first page, and numbered throughout and sent as a WORD attachment to the email address listed herein.

Send only your best work. Submit only one story at a time.

We are not accepting paper submissions at this time. All paper submissions will be recycled upon receipt.

All manuscripts must be written in English. Translations are acceptable, but must be accompanied by a copy of the original text.

Poetry: 3-5 poems (no more than 8 pages)

Novel Excerpts: 5,000 words or less.  You must indicate that your submission is part of an unpublished novel.  The ideal excerpt will be self contained in terms of characterization and storyline.  We will not print setups or explanations of what is taking place.  Your writing should embody a smaller version of the overall story arc.

Creative Non-Fiction: We draw heavily from unsolicited submissions. Our editors believe that providing a platform for emerging writers and helping them find readers is an essential role of literary magazines, and it’s been our privilege to work with many fine writers early in their careers. A typical issue of carbonate contains at least one essay by a previously unpublished writer.

We’re open to all types of creative nonfiction, from immersion reportage to personal essay to memoir. Our editors tend to gravitate toward submissions structured around narratives, but we’re always happy to be pleasantly surprised by work that breaks outside this general mold. Above all, we’re most interested in writing that blends style with substance, and reaches beyond the personal to tell us something new about the world. We firmly believe that great writing can make any subject interesting to a general audience.

Art: Please submit only 4-6 pieces per email. However, you may submit more than one email. We prefer to receive submissions digitally as JPEGs or PNGs sent via email to salidafoundry@gmail.com. Please make sure that your name and contact information appears in the body of the email. Each piece should be accompanied by the work’s title (if any), medium, and contact information should one of our readers want to purchase your work.

We are unable to provide critiques or feedback regarding art submissions or the selection process. If your artwork is selected for publication, you will be notified by telephone or email with further information.  If you do not hear from us in 4-8 week’s time, you should assume that your submission was not a fit for our publication at this time, but we will place them in our files for potential use in future publications. We do accept professionally presented pencil or pen/ink images.

Photography: The photography published in ‘carbonate’ is very high level, professional-quality imagery suitable for commercial purposes. If you are a recreational photographer/hobbyist, unfortunately your work will likely not be a fit for our product lines.

Submission Deadlines

The following publishing deadlines are set for the forthcoming publications.  If we receive a submission between deadlines, we will assume it is meant for the next issue.

October 2015   deadline August 31, 2015

January 2016  deadline October 31, 2016

April 2016  deadline February 1, 2016

July 2016 deadline May 1, 2016

October 2016 deadline August 31, 2016

Publication Rights

Simultaneous submissions must be marked as such, and you should notify us immediately in the event your work is accepted elsewhere.

We do not pay contributors for any work published in carbonate. However, accepted contributors will receive a 1-year digital subscription beginning with the edition your work appears in.

Upon acceptance, we acquire first rights for publication in our online magazine and one-time rights for pieces selected for re-publication. Following publication, all rights revert to the author. Should we desire to use your work in any other context (primarily, this might occur in an advertisement-type context), we will contact you via email requesting the appropriate permission.
