PFN – Rowayat: A Literary Journal is Open for Submissions for Issue #10 on the Theme of Borders
October 31 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Issue 10 of Rowayat explores “borders” in all their forms: from the physical, heavily guarded borders that divide the earth, to the intangible but equally real psychological, cultural, and socio-economic borders that delineate our interior and exterior worlds. In our upcoming issue, we delve into the lines that shape and limit the human experience, challenging and redefining them through the lens of prose and verse.
Submit prose and poems that reflect your best-polished work. We’re looking for immediate, fresh writing that reflects your deepest experiences of borders and how they affect your view of the world. We seek well-crafted poems, prose and nonfiction that attempt to reappropriate the hardest borders, be they cultural, linguistic, or bureaucratic in nature.
Writers may submit poems or prose responding directly to the issue’s BORDERS theme as a whole.
Our review process is semi-anonymous (our readers do not know the names of submitters, and then they pass all submissions to the genre editors. You may submit to more than one genre (but only 1 submission per genre—thank you!).
Submission Categories :
Fiction (1500 – 10,000 words)
Poetry (three poems or two flash fiction)
CNF/Nonfiction (All forms of essays, memoirs, travel literature, author interviews, and book reviews. 1500 – 3000 words)
