SUMMARY:P - Speckled Trout Review
DESCRIPTION:Speckled Trout Review is an independent literary magazine. We like good storytelling in poems metaphorically rich and ripe with imagery\, poems in which every word counts\, poems that look like poems. Good rhythm is nice\, too. However\, abstract is not our thing; neither is overt political stuff. Appalachian poets are welcome here\, in addition to many other subjects\, styles\, and work from poets spanning the globe. \n  \nSubmission Guidelines\nCall for submissions: Fall 2021 (3.2) Childhood memories (print issue)Submission window opens September 1\, closing November 1. \nWe often have a penchant to wax nostalgic about our childhood memories or a desire to idealize them. However\, the reality is more measured. We know that we may carry these formative recollections\, visceral and vivid\, with us throughout our lives\, even as we perceive them to be warm and nourishing or perhaps frightening. We want poems that leave the front porch and go beyond the trees. \nEditors of Speckled Trout Review welcome submissions of unpublished poetry (nothing previously published in an electronic publication of any kind or in print) for its Fall 2021 (3.2) print issue. Poets can paste up to 4 poems\, followed by a 50-word writer’s biography and mailing address\, in the body of an e-mail to speckledtroutreview@hotmail.com. Please note: attachments will go unread. Poems with overt political messages are not for Speckled Trout Review. Simultaneous submissions are fine\, but please share the good news when a poem finds a home elsewhere. For any questions about submissions or Speckled Trout Review\, reach out to us at the above e-mail address. Poets whose work is selected for Fall 2021 (3.2) will receive a complimentary copy of the issue. \nFor contributors whose work appears in either a fall or spring issue\, we ask poets acknowledge Speckled Trout Review as the original publisher of the poem(s) in any subsequent publication thereafter. We reserve the right to archive accepted poems on the Speckled Trout Review website indefinitely and to publish work in a future anthology.

SUMMARY:North American Review: Kurt Vonnegut Speculative Fiction Prize
DESCRIPTION: The Vonnegut Prize is an annual fiction competition sponsored by North American Review. This award is intended to recognize the finest speculative fiction\, which can include\, but is not limited to\, work influenced by the postmodern science-fiction of Kurt Vonnegut. We love Vonnegut’s dark humor\, but please avoid mere imitation. We are enthusiastic about all work painted with speculative fiction’s broad brush: fairytale\, magical realism\, fabulism\, the fantastic\, horror\, Afro-futurism\, science fiction hard and soft\, and everything in between. The winning entry will appear in the North American Review’s annual summer fiction issue\, and all finalists will be considered for publication. \nContest Information \nOpen for submission: August 10\, 2021.\nFirst Prize: $1\,000\nDeadline: November 1st\, 2021. Results will be announced in January.\nWordcount: 500 – 12\,000 words\nJudge:  Brenda Peynado \n\nSubmissions are judged anonymously; please remove identifying information.\nCurrent University of Northern Iowa students are not eligible to submit.\nThe winner will be published in the Summer 2022 Issue. All entry fees include copy of the Summer Issue.\n\nFrequently asked questions: \n\nYou may submit novel excerpts so long as they stand alone as a complete short story with beginning\, middle\, and end.\nWe will accept flash fiction as well as works up to 10\,000 words. That said\, most of our finalists and all of our winners have had wordcounts in the 2\,500 – 7\,500 range.\nWe are interested in experimental fiction; however\, if publishing your piece would require unusual layout or formatting\, please query first.\n\nOur judging process: \n\nAll submissions are read by the contest coordinator\, Dr. Brooke Wonders/Dr. Jim O’Loughlin (alternating years)\, as well as by fifteen or more North American Review preliminary readers\, most of whom are undergraduate or graduate students at UNI. They select a slate of semifinalists\, then finalists\, from the submission pool. All finalists are sent to the prize judge.\nOur prize judge selects a winner\, runner-up\, and honorable mentions from the slate of finalists. All finalists and semifinalists will be listed in the magazine and on Open Space.\nThe contest coordinator may offer publication–in a future issue of North American Review and/or on Open Space–to notable stories\, even if they are not sent to the prize judge.\nThe winner will be published in the Summer 2022 Issue.\nAll entry fees include a copy of the Summer Issue.
