SUBMISSIONS OPEN

Note: Submissions for this issue don’t need to be ‘about’ disability at all, but we are only accepting work from writers and artists with disability (self-declared).

As the disability pride movement blossoms online and IRL, the fight for justice rages on against a backdrop of discrimination and government let-downs. Where does this leave disabled writers and artists? For our next issue, DISABILITY, The Suburban Review is looking for fiction that celebrates disruption and divergence, comics that explode ableism, and art that embodies the invisible. Send us your playful odes to community and interdependence, and essays (or manifestos!) written out of, or into, disabled joy.

We allow simultaneous submissions. If it’s been accepted elsewhere please use Submittable to withdraw your submission. We only allow one submission per person (that means you need to choose if you want to submit fiction, non-fiction, or poetry). To submit poetry (that’s a maximum of 3 poems), make sure all the poems are in a single document.

The Suburban Review accepts previously unpublished work. We allow simultaneous submissions. If it’s been accepted elsewhere just let us know through Submittable or email us at submissions@theusburbanreview.com with “Withdrawing submission” as your subject line. We only allow one submission per person (that means you need to choose if you want to submit fiction, non-fiction, or poetry). To submit multiple poems (that’s a maximum of 3 poems), make sure they are in a single document.

We look forward to seeing your work!
