CALL-4-SUBMISSIONS: The Southern Review

The Southern Review: Published Quarterly at the State Louisiana University

Submission Guidelines for Poetry and Fiction

The Southern Review publishes fiction, poetry, and excerpts from novels
in progress. We subscribe to the set of standards for good art staked
out by John Gardner in his book On Becoming a Novelist: the work must
(1) create a vivid and continuous dream; (2) demonstrate authorial generosity; (3) reveal intellectual and emotional significance; (4) be rendered with elegance and efficiency; and (5) exhibit an element of strangeness.

Although we are willing to publish experimental writing that appears to have a valid artistic purpose, The Southern Review also agrees with Flannery O’Connor’s observation that a writer is free to try and get away with whatever he wants, but that it had been her experience that there wasn’t much one could get away with. We are, finally, looking to publish the best work that arrives in the mail. Poetry lengths preferred are one to four pages; fiction, four to eight thousand words.

Manuscripts must be typewritten—fiction double-spaced—and accompanied by self-addressed, stamped envelopes with sufficient postage to cover return.
Only occasionally, at the editors’ discretion, will a response be e-mailed to
an author. We are sorry, but we cannot accept international postage coupons in lieu of an SASE. Queries are not necessary. Only previously unpublished works will be considered. Allow at least two months for editorial decisions.

SHORT STORY AWARD for NEW WRITERS category:

Spring: February 1 – March 31. Results will be posted at http://www.glimmertrain.org/ on July 1.

Fall: August 1 – September 30. Results will be posted at http://www.glimmertrain.org/ on January 2.

Reading fee: $15 per story.

Prizes: 1st place wins $1,200, publication in Glimmer Train Stories, and 20 copies of that issue. 2nd/ 3rd-place: $500/$300, respectively.

Other considerations:

Open only to writers whose fiction has not appeared in any publication with a circulation over 5,000. (Entries must be entirely unpublished.)
Stories not to exceed 12,000 words.

I suspect that more than a few editors fail to read beyond the first paragraph of stories sent them by unknown writers. Not so with the editors of Glimmer Train—they seek out new voices in fiction and provide them with valuable exposure. Shortly after my work appeared in Glimmer Train, a collection of my short stories was accepted for publication. —George Makana Clark

SHALLA CHATS with Alice Andrews

“Biofiction Introduced”

by

Shalla DeGuzman

First of all, who’s Alice?


Alice teaches psychology with an evolutionary lens at the

State University of New York at New Paltz, and is the editor/publisher of Entelechy: Mind & Culture, an evolutionarily-informed interdisciplinary online journal. She is also the author of Trine Erotic, a novel that explores evolutionary psychology and other behavioral science themes.

Alice is currently working on a book (based on her essay with the same title, published at

Metanexus) called An Evolutionary Mind

(to be published as part of Imprint Academic's series: "Societas: Essays in Political and Cultural Criticism"), and plans to begin writing another novel soon.

only at:

www.shalladeguzman.com

What does Entelechy publish?

Heard of BIOFICTION?

Biofiction is not a neologism. (See below for its other uses and meanings.)

In the sense that I am using it, however, it is new; it refers to fiction or creative nonfiction that uses biological, neurological, psychological and/or evolutionary language and/or lenses. That is, a work of biofiction might explicitly deal with biological and /or evolutionary ideas, or it might incorporate biolanguage (see below). It may also do both, as my writing often, but not always, does.

For a while I used the term evolutionary fiction when writing about my own fiction and that of some others; but I soon realized that that term was too limiting (though I still use it in specific instances). At the same time that I felt evolutionary fiction was too restrictive, I was engaged in thinking about literature from a Darwinian and cognitive perspective and doing so primarily through a list called biopoets.

-Alice Andrews, editor, Entelechy: Mind & Culture

*****BONUS*********

Modern Drunkard Magazine (does not publish experimental fiction, but here is what it does like)

Make sure your piece is specifically about drinking. Specifically. Send your submissions to mailto:editor@moderndrunkardmagazine.comin either .txt or Microsoft Word .doc format. There's a large backlog, so it may be a while before you hear from us. If at all. If you don't hear from us within four months, you may deduce your submission wasn't selected. We edit for content and space, sometimes rather heavily. Be prepared for changes.

We accept all manner of fiction, though experimental fiction is less likely to be published. Hemingway, F.Scott, Mencken and Bukowski are good models to follow. The story should be imbued with drinking. If alcohol hasn't reared its lovely head by the second page, you're on the wrong track. Putting a drink in the hand of your protagonist does not a drinking story make. If you can replace the booze with coffee and the plot isn't affected, you're trying to pull a fast one. Avoid writing about writing and being a writer. And while it's commendable that you wrote the piece while hammered, that's no excuse for haphazard grammar and bizarre punctuation. Leave that to us, we're quite good at it. Exclamation points do not make a sentence more powerful. Not even triple exclamation points. The vast majority of our submissions are fiction, so realize the competition is ferocious. One to four thousand words.

CALL-4-SUBMISSIONS: The Laurel Review

The Laurel Review prints poetry, short fiction, essays and reviews. Aesthetic schools don't matter to us; what matters is that the poem or story or essay presents a real investigation of the art and what it is to be human. We read from September 1 to May 1, and we try to reply promptly, though we don't always manage that. We prefer a submission be three to five poems or a single story. Please include a brief cover letter, and a SASE for our reply.

Send Submissions to:

GreenTower PressDepartment of EnglishNorthwest Missouri State University800 University DriveMaryville, MO 64468

In short, we want good poems and stories, we hope to be able to recognize them when we get them, and we print what we believe to be the best work submitted.

Mid-American Review is an international literary journal dedicated to publishing the best contemporary fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and translations.

Founded in 1981, MAR is an official publication of the Department of English and the College of Arts & Sciences at Bowling Green State University.

Writers such as Carl Dennis, Rita Dove, Stephen Dunn, Linda Gregg, Yusef Komunyakaa, Philip Levine, Mary Oliver, Richard Russo, William Stafford, James Tate, Melanie Rae Thon, David Foster Wallace, and C.K. Williams have all appeared in MAR. But we also pride ourselves on our publication of new and up-and-coming writers, case in point our recent Unpublished Writers Issue.

Lastly, MAR is dedicated to introducing non-English speaking voices to our audience through our translation chapbook series. Work from MAR has been reprinted in The Best American Poetry, The Best American Short Stories, The Best American Nonrequired Reading, Pushcart: Best of the Small Presses, Prize Stories: The O.

Glimmer Train (a Top 10 Lit Journal)

Glimmer Train welcomes the work of established and upcoming writers.

We especially appreciate work that is both well written and emotionally engaging. Please let us read yours!

If it is chosen for publication in Glimmer Train Stories, you will be paid upon acceptance. Your story will be prepared with care, and presented in a handsome, highly regarded literary journal to readers all over the country (even a few in Ireland, England, and Australia).

If you've seen Glimmer Train Stories, you know that we go to some lengths to honor our contributors and their writing.

CLICK ON CATEGORIES, IN BLUE BELOW, for specific details on when you can submit work for each category, when you can expect to hear results, how much (if any) is required for reading fees, how much we pay for accepted pieces, and if there are particular restrictions, such as word count limitations.

In all cases: We are interested in original, unpublished pieces. We don't publish stories for children, and we don't publish poetry or novels.

Multiple submissions are okay. (You can send more than one submission per competition, if you like, or submit the same story for different categories, if it qualifies).

Simultaneous submissions are not okay, I'm sorry, especially in competitions. (It breaks our hearts to fall for a story we can't publish.)

We are happy to consider your stories whether they are submitted as competition entries or standard submissions. There are no reading fees for standard story submissions.

On the other hand, the monetary award paid to competition winners is more substantial than the already tidy $700 payment for accepted standard submissions, and agents seem to be on the lookout for competition winners.

ALL stories are read and appreciated and considered for publication by the same diligent readers either way. So relax and choose the category that suits you.

Please use our online submission procedure. Just click on the SUBMISSIONS button above to get started - it's easy and it saves postage and paper!

Please doublespace and use a 12 point font size to save our eyes; other than that, simple formatting is best for our system. See FORMATTING in the Need Help? Have Qs? section on the submissions page if you have concerns or questions.

To check results of any competition after the "results" date, go to www.glimmertrain.org and see the link to the Top 25 lists in the lower right portion of the page.

We are eager to see your work!

Please scroll down to view the categories and click on the category names for details.

LIST OF LITERARY JOURNALS

Granta (1 of the Top 10 Literary Journals)

The main guideline for submitting work to Granta is simply to read the magazine thoroughly and ask yourself honestly if you feel your piece meets our criteria. We receive many submissions every day, many of which are completely unsuitable for Granta (however well written).

Here is a list of things that Granta does not publish:

Academic essays, or essays about writers.

Book reviews.

Straight reporting or feature articles whose primary interest is immediate, i.e., stories whose relevancy will not last the life span of the magazine. We have a three-month lead between going to press and being published. The pieces we publish should outlast that period by several years (as the issues themselves do).

Genre fiction. That means: no Romance, Crime, Science Fiction, Fantasy Fiction, Historical.

Poetry.

Travel writing without a story. Then we went to X and a funny thing happened, then we went to Y and another funny thing happened, etc. There should be a narrative focus, a point, a reason for you to tell us the story.
Any issue of Granta magazine will reveal stories or non-fiction that breaks one or the other of these rules to some degree. That's why it's useful to take a look at a copy and try and work out what convinced us about a particular piece.

Here is a list of practical things that will help us to deal with your submission:

Do not send more than two stories at a time.

Submissions should be made by post only. Faxes and emails are not accepted. Please don't send computer discs.

Enclose either a current email address or an SAE and postage:
International Reply Coupons if you are outside the UK (US stamps do not work from the UK. Sorry to state the obvious, but no one seems to be aware of this).

Please indicate (and enclose sufficient postage) if you would like your ms returned, otherwise it will be recycled if unsuitable.

Layout: please type in a plain, legible font on one side of the page.

Cover letter: a brief intro is fine.

Length: we have no length guidelines.

Timing: we aim to respond in three months. However, we have regularly exceeded this timespan, unfortunately, just so you are prepared for a potentially long wait. We do respond to every manuscript eventually.


When submitting fiction please enclose:

A covering letter, to introduce yourself and any relevant information about your writing history.

A synopsis describing the plot and themes of your book (in length anything between 1 paragraph and 2 pages).

The first couple of chapters/first 50 pages of your manuscript. If you have a printed book, then we will accept this instead.

A stamped addressed envelope and postage. If you are outside the UK please send International Reply Coupons.

Please indicate in your covering letter whether you would like the manuscript/proposal returned. If you do, then make sure that you enclose sufficient postage to cover the cost of its return, otherwise it will be recycled if unsuitable.

Submissions should be made by post only. We don't accept faxes, or emails, and please don't send us your work on computer disc.

We cannot take any responsibility for the loss of unsolicited submissions, though of course we make every effort to look after material we receive.
Please address your covering letter to Bella Shand and send your submission to:

The Submissions DepartmentGranta Books2/3 Hanover YardNoel RoadLondon N1 8BE

Due to the large numbers of submissions we receive, it can take some time before we get back to you. We aim to respond within three months, and we do respond to every manuscript eventually.

The Georgia Review (1 of the TOP 10 LITERARY JOURNALS and their Submission Guidelines)

Manuscripts cannot be considered by The Georgia Review from May 15 to August 15. Submissions received during that period will be returned unread.

click here for Book Review Guidelines

What are we looking for?

Poetry & Fiction: We seek the very best work whether by Nobel laureates and Pulitzer Prize winners or by little-known (or even previously unpublished) writers.

All manuscripts receive serious, careful attention; we try to respond within three to five months, but sometimes the ebb and flow of manuscripts causes delays.

Ordinarily we do not publish novel excerpts or works translated into English, and we strongly discourage authors from submitting these. In recent years we have been able to accept less than one-half of one percent of the poetry and fiction manuscripts received.

Book Reviews: In most cases, selection of titles to be reviewed and assignments to specific reviewers are made by the editors, so unsolicited reviews should not be submitted without a prior query. However, we are willing to entertain proposals from reviewers concerning assignments. (Separate, more detailed guidelines for book reviewing are available upon request.)

Art: We publish reproductions (color or black and white) of a wide range of art: paintings, photography, prints, sculpture, and more. Usually we feature one image on the cover plus an interior "portfolio" of 8 additional works, and our editorial preference is for groupings that display an engaging variety within some overall thematic unity.

Submissions should include approximately twenty high-quality, original slides, transparencies, sharp, glossy, 5" x 7" photographs, or JPEGs of 300 dpi, 5" x 7".

SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS:

Every query or submission to The Georgia Review must be accompanied by a postage-paid and self-addressed return envelope. Work previously published in any form or submitted simultaneously to other journals will not be considered.

Submissions should be limited (except under unusual circumstances) to one story or one essay or three to five poems.

If a submission is known to be included in a book already accepted by a publisher, please notify us of this fact (and of the anticipated date of book publication) in a cover letter.

Unsolicited manuscripts will not be considered from 15 May through 15 August; all such submissions will be returned unread. (Our offices are open year round, but our staff is small and needs the summer months to complete evaluations of the manuscripts already received.)

Scholarly documentation, if appropriate, should adhere to the format outlined in the MLA Stylesheet (2nd edition).

The Georgia Review does not consider book manuscripts.

We will not consider submissions sent via e-mail or fax.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

The Georgia Review pays all contributors; the current standard rates are $40 per printed page for prose and $3 per line for poetry. We purchase only the first serial rights; the author controls all other rights.
