P – illiterature: Seeking Collaborative Asemic Novella

April 15, 2024 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Submissions

Call for Submissions: illiterature. issue 10. a Collaborative Asemic novella.  

Picture

For the 10th issue of illiterature. we’re seeking work that is without the smallest unit of meaning.

We’re hoping to create a cohesive, yet varied collection of asemic work that can be seen as a collaborative novella. Will each author’s work be considered a chapter? Will an author’s work be scattered throughout the book? How will an asemic chapter differ from a stand-alone asemic poem? Will it differ? Does it need to? Will asemic comic strips fit in the collection? What, if anything will hold the collection together? These are only a few of the questions we’re asking ourselves right now. We’re eager to find out some answers!

We are open to submissions of all types of work, asemic poems, collages, comics, asemic prose… we especially encourage submissions that are hard to place elsewhere, be it concrete, visual, conceptual, or minimal.

Please note: illiterature. is a journal of collaboration. We’re not sure what’ll happen yet, but we ask that contributors be open to having their work played with in new and unexpected ways. If you’re dead-set on your work appearing in a certain way, this may not be the journal for you. Please familiarize yourself with our work. Check out issues 3-6 to see what kind of work we publish and how we publish that work.

Issue Five, a collaborative graphic novel, can be viewed in its entirety here:
