"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

A VERY Special Special Call for Submissions: HeartWood: Getting to the Heart of the Matter

Why is this one special special? 

Because in the company of an amazing group of people, this Call for Submissions is coming directly from me!

😀

Allow me to introduce

HeartWood

an online literary journal in association with West Virginia Wesleyan’s Low-Residency MFA program, publishes twice yearly, in April and October. Our inaugural issue will go live April 2016.

HeartWood

 

General Submissions

We accept submissions year round through Submittable, and welcome previously unpublished poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction, from both established and emerging writers.

What We Want:

We are interested in writing that pushes into, dares to reveal, its own truth, that takes emotional risks, that gets to the heart of the matter.

Simultaneous submissions are fine, provided you notify us if the work is accepted elsewhere.

We also welcome queries from Appalachian artists (writers, visual artists, musicians, performers, folk artists, etc) interested in being included in our Appalachian Arts section.

 

Submission Details

Prose submissions, fiction or nonfiction, should be 3000 words or less.

Fiction: Fiction submissions may include short stories, flash fiction, or novel excerpts if the excerpt can stand alone. You may submit more than one piece of flash fiction, as long as the total word count does not exceed 3000 words.

Creative Nonfiction: We’re open to a wide range of nonfiction, with the exception of academic articles, or that which would be considered more traditionally journalistic. Personal essay, memoir, lyric, literary journalism, or some blurring in between, are all acceptable.

Poetry: Poets should submit no more than 3-5 single-spaced poems at a time. Include all poems in a single document for upload. Lyric, narrative, experimental, we’re open to all variations of the poetic voice.

Surprise us. Make us think. Make us feel. Make our hearts race.

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.

Friday Call for Submissions Love! Houseguest: The Common & The Strange

Friday Call for Submissions Love!

Houseguest

About

Houseguest: House, Guest. As our name implies, we are interested in the juxtaposition of the common and the strange: the stranger that enters, that invades even as it’s invited, that may never truly leave. As a culture, we are ambivalent about houseguests, and ambivalent about ambivalence.

Here at Houseguest, we value ambivalence. We appreciate uncertainty. We espouse contradiction. We love thresholds—liminal spaces and surreal situations—and watching what gets through, what gets in. We welcome the Welcome Unwelcome.

We welcome anything you see fit to send us, provided it has not been previously published elsewhere.

 

Submissions

Houseguest is published three times a year in March, July, and November. We accept submissions year-round. We allow simultaneous submissions, but we ask that you let us know immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere.

Prose submissions should be typed, double-spaced, in an easy-to-read 12 pt font. Please limit your submission to 1000 words. Technically, we accept micro-nonfiction and flash fiction, but we aren’t overly concerned with categories. Be our guest: blur the lines.

Poetry submissions should be typed, single-spaced, in an easy-to-read 12 pt font, and formatted as a single document. Please limit your submission to five or fewer poems and include your contact information in the header of each page. All lengths and styles of poetry will be considered.

We acquire first serial rights for all work we publish. All rights revert to the author upon publication, though we ask for acknowledgement upon reprinting.

We currently accept submissions through our online submissions manager, known more commonly as email.

Submit to submission@houseguestmag.com

Friday Call for Submissions Love! Synaesthesia: “Tell us where you’re going”

Friday Call for Submissions Love!

Synaesthesia

Theme

ATLAS

DEADLINE: 30 July 2015

noun | a book of maps or charts

Tell us where you’re going. Tell us about the bridge above the river that looks like milk. Point out your favourite spot. Map out your route. Show us how it happened, where he was, where he is now. Circle the place you first kissed, the place you kissed him last. Show us where you left him, do it in red. Take us to Tibet. Get us lost. Take us home again. Draw us a map of your hand. The muscles and tendons. Where she kissed it, where she pinched it, scratched it, slapped it, held it. Send us tickets and postcards. Think about structure, style. Break conventions: give us stories and poems told through graphs, tables, charts and maps.

Be part of our collection about maps and the roads that fall between them. Be part of the atlas that makes us human, or not.

About

Editors are mothers. They cradle words in their ink-stained hands and rock them gently until they hiccup and burp and sleep without fidgeting. Sometimes they have to be strict, and tell words that they can’t play with that other word because that other word isn’t good for them. Sometimes they have to say no because that’s how stories get better. But mostly they love words and just want to see them grow into great, great stories that others point at and go, heck, I wish I’d written that.

So we’ve decided to write about what we like and what we don’t like in our submissions. And if you don’t like what we do like, then that’s fine. Maybe it’s just not meant to be. It’s important to remember that your submission absolutely doesn’t have to be perfect. We’re not expecting Shakespeare. If you bring us something that makes us coo we’ll tell you it makes us coo, and we’ll work with you to turn that extra o into an r so it makes us go corr.


We like poetry that howls from the rooftops. We don’t like poetry that shouts into a microphone. One commands, the other imposes rudely. We like modest poetry, poetry that tells us, actually, it’s pretty terrifying being human but y’know what? Here’s a puddle. Look at its rainbow.


We’re not particularly drawn to poetry that laments, or mourns, or talks about how much it misses its boyfriend. We don’t like poetry that feels sorry for itself.


We like poetry that talks to us like we’re humans, sometimes even friends, and poetry that goes bungee jumping and, if it’s not feeling up to it, puts its feet up and flicks through crappy TV channels. Not because it can’t be bothered, but because it’s honest. It doesn’t try hard. 


We like short stories that come to bed with you and kiss you somewhere you didn’t know you liked. Stories that tease and don’t necessarily give us what we want. If there’s a word in your story that you have to think twice about, get rid of it. Get in and get out. We don’t like stodgy prose or long-winded narratives.

 

We like short stories that say hey, babe, take a walk on the wide side. We like stories that pad barefoot into the kitchen on a summer night, spilling secrets. Short stories that are the beginnings of a knock knock joke but not the end. We don’t like sob stories, but we do like stories that whisper, I had to write this.

Guidelines

We like short stories that come to bed with you and kiss you somewhere you didn’t know you liked. Stories that pad barefoot into the kitchen on a summer night, spilling secrets. We like short stories that say hey, babe, take a walk on the wide side.

We like poems that jump into puddles. Poems about the ordinary: these yellow wellington boots, your hand-me-down prom dress. We like poems that have been gunned down to the ground and come back fighting.

We like short stories that are the beginnings of a knock knock joke but not the end. Stories that hum, some that blister. We don’t like sob stories, but we do like stories that whisper, I had to write this.

We are currently open for submissions for our ATLAS issue (publishing late summer/autumn). We will announce our last theme of the year very soon. Please read our submission guidelines before submitting (seriously, please do it, it will help you), and remember the following:

  • Your submission must correspond to the current theme in some way, however loosely you interpret it
  • Simultaneous submissions are totally fine and heartily encouraged, but if your submission is accepted elsewhere please inform us asap
  • We do not accept previously published submissions. We obtain First Serial Rights, which means we have the rights to publish your work for the first time. More info on our guidelines page
  • It’s completely free to submit to us and read our magazine
  • As part of the magazine’s ethos, we blend art and writing – please be aware that your work may be accompanied with another form of art
  • Response time: approx 1-4 months.

Okay, your turn now. Blow our senses

Special Wednesday Call for Submissions: Snapdragon, Art & Healing

I’ve been thinking a lot about Art & Healing lately ❤

Special Wednesday Call for Submissions

Snapdragon: A Journal of Art & Healing

Open July 1- July 31

“Your Wild and Precious Life” Issue

“Open for submissions for our 3rd issue due out in September! We publish previously published work so send us your new or old poems on the theme “your wild and precious life” (we love Mary Oliver). Spread the word! Thanks!”

About

“Snapdragon: A Journal of Art & Healing aims to be the premier online literary journal for writers and all who are looking to creativity as a way to process and express the healing journey.

Whether experiencing or looking for physical, emotional, or spiritual healing, we hope this will be a place to which you come as you journey the luminous path to wholeness. AtSnapdragon Journal, in addition to poetry and creative nonfiction, we are now highlighting photography! Eventually, we will publish research articles and interviews of those doing this work in the field.

Why the Name?

“We could not think of a better name for this journal other thanSnapdragon! At its deepest level, the Snapdragon flower essence helps the soul to distinguish its use of creative forces — especially those which radiate from the lower energy centers, and those which are used for spoken word. The Snapdragon flower is often used as a remedy to help persons — particularly those who experience extreme tension in the jaw and mouth — to re-direct their powerful metabolic energy into its rightful channels. By harmonizing the relationship between these energy centers, the soul evolves in its use of creative power. And so, with Snapdragon: A Journal of Art & Healing, our desire is to provide a platform for your self-expression and soul’s healing!”

Guidelines

“We’re using Submittable to receive your poetry, creative nonfiction and photography. We will only accept, via email, research papers on art and healing. All other submissions via email will not be accepted. Our Submittable link will go live the first of each month we are open for submissions (Jan., April, July, Oct.). See our themes and guidelines below. Also sign up for our mailing list to receive notifications. Thanks!”

We consider new and previously published work on the theme of healing (emotional, physical, spiritual, community, etc.).

Pretend It’s Still Friday Call for Submissions: Apogee, Reclaiming the Margins

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/

 

Year Round on the Blog


Submissions for our blog Perigee are open year round. We will consider completed interviews, critical and lyrical essays, book reviews and flash fiction for publication.
