N – Hinterland Magazine: “Journeys” Special Issue: Nonfiction Open Call

Hinterland Magazine is pleased to be open once again for submissions for a special issue on the subject of “Journeys” to be published in Late 2024. Based on the Oxford English Dictionary’s definition of “travel: to make a journey of some length”, we are looking for creative non-fiction that redefines travel writing. Surprise and amaze us with your work about journeys and voyages through places, spaces and time by 23.59 GMT on 13th September 2024.

At Hinterland we are committed to publishing the best in creative non-fiction from around the globe. We are always thrilled to feature work from established, well-known authors but have a particular interest in discovering new voices and in pieces that sit outside the usual categories: we ask only that it be a work of non-fiction.

• Submissions should be made via Submittable only (see below).
• Before you submit, we strongly recommend purchasing a copy of Hinterland in order to get a feel for the range and style of nonfiction that we publish (www.hinterlandnonfiction.com/shop).
• All work should be new, previously unpublished material.
• We accept simultaneous submissions. If your work is accepted elsewhere, kindly let us know.
• For our Non-fiction Open Call, we accept work between 1251-5000 words. We also accept extracts from longer works, or works in progress; please ensure the extract works as a stand-alone piece. If you have a short piece of between 500-1250 words, please submit this through our Flash Non-fiction Call.
• Please submit your work in a legible 12pt font and double-spaced.
• Your work will be considered for all upcoming issues; it might help you to know that we operate a 4- to 5-month editorial lead time.
• We typically pay £100 for a long-form article, or £25 for shorter articles and contributions to our regular features.
• We charge a small readers’ fee of £3 for all submissions. Please get in touch with us if this fee presents a hardship for whatever reason. Subscribers can submit their work to us for free.
• Please do not submit the same piece to multiple calls. We will always consider a piece for all open calls, where appropriate.
• We regret that, due to the number of submissions received, we cannot provide feedback.
• If you have had a piece published with us recently, please wait 9 months after publication before submitting to us again.
