"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 <3 Aji Mag and Music

Aji Magazine Call for Submissions for Spring 2017

Deadline: After first 500 submissions are received.

 

While Aji publishes poetry, fiction, literary nonfiction, graphic art, and photographs on all subjects in every issue, the theme for our spring 2017 issue is music, the tempo of a city street, the dissonance of a conversation—what are the melodies, the harmonies, and the rhythms of your life? Send us work on music of all types, classical, jazz, experimental, pop, and of course the thundering and whispering of storms, the jangling of traffic, the noise in your head that won’t let you sleep. We’re a small staff—we will close submissions after the first 500 submissions. www.ajimagazine.com

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.

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.).
