"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 Call for Submissions <3 New Journal: The Trump Years–"We need to document this."

The Trump Years is a literary magazine dedicated to documenting this country’s years under Donald Trump. Please send 2-4 poems or under 2,000 words of anything else to trumpyears@gmail.com.

We particularly look forward to submissions from women, people of color, people who identify as LGBT, people with disabilities, and others who are underrepresented in publishing.

We need, somehow, to document this.

And because I feel like squawking–Some Call for Submissions Love

Thanks to Paul McVeigh for sharing this call. 

Squawk Back seeks Fiction, Poetry & Creative Non-fiction

“Send any materials that you wish to have considered for publication in (the) Squawk Back—preferably as attachments in .doc, .rtf, .txt, or .odt format; or copy-pasted in the body of an email—but under no circumstances as .wps files or PDFs, and preferably not .docx’s—to…..

editor@thesquawkback.com

We read year round. All first-time submitters will hear back from us within two weeks. Those previously published in Squawk Back will wait a bit longer, as their submissions do, unfortunately, go to the bottom of a pile, owing to that we try very hard to feature new contributors in every issue.

We primarily publish fiction, poetry, and creative non-fiction. We do not publish plays or screenplays, but we may consider monologues. We will consider excerpts from unpublished novels, poetry collections &c, but please do not submit entire books.

No individual prose submission should exceed ten-thousand words in length. For submitters of poems, we’d prefer it if you kept it under ten pieces per submission. Multiple-poem submissions go in one document or are pasted into the body of one email.

Upon acceptance for publication, submitted pieces which appear in their entirety on personal blogs either Must Be Removed from those pages or replaced with excerpts and/or links to their new home in Squawk Back.

Upon submitting your work, you hereby grant (the) Squawk Back a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable license to use, reproduce, distribute, modify and display your content for any purpose, including without limitation promoting and redistributing part or all of the site. Works submitted to Squawk Back, whether officially or unofficially copyrighted, will remain the full intellectual property of their authors. We are far less interested in exploiting emergent literary voices than providing them with a louder box with which to squawk.”

Important Call for Submissions Love <3 Imagining Peace <3 New Madrid

Seeking Submissions for Winter 2017 Theme Issue, “Imagining Peace”

Deadline: October 15, 2016

 “We are dedicating the Winter 2017 issue of New Madrid to the theme of “Imagining Peace.” As George Bernard Shaw wrote, “Peace is not only better than war, but infinitely more arduous.” We are looking for work in all literary genres that speaks to this arduousness and that defines peace not just as the absence of war, but as something dynamic in its own right. Possible categories of interest include: writing by peace activists and refugees, testimonies about immigration or international crises, travel writing, translations, and much more. An in-depth explanation can be found on our website. We will be accepting submissions from August 15 through October 15, 2016.”
