SUMMARY:FN - Call for Submissions to Cowboy Jamboree Magazine. Theme: "Hidden behind the door that sorrow locked"
DESCRIPTION:​CALL FOR SUBS-CJ FALL 2025\n\nISSUE Theme: “Hidden behind the door that sorrow locked.” \nWhere’d it come from? It’s a James “Slim” Hand lyric from a song about sitting in a bar in the corner at a table by a jukebox. Interpret however you like. \nStory/CNF/Verse. Deadline: Sept 21. Submit to cowboyjamboree@gmail.com \n  \n[Purpose\, Style & Tastes] \nIt’s in the title. \nCOWBOY [kou-boi] (def.)\n1.  American plains animal herder who tends cows\n2.  one who is reckless or ignores risk\, i.e. “cowboy attitude”\n3.  tradesman with questionable or atypical practices\, i.e. “cowboy plumbing”\n4.  fast or careless driver on the highway\, i.e. “slow down\, cowboy”\n5.  slang for “outlaw” \nJAMBOREE  [jam-buh-ree] (def.)\n1.  a large celebration or party\, typically boisterous\n2.  a carousel of noisy merrymaking \nPLEASE NOTE: COWBOY JAMBOREE IS LBTQ+ INCLUSIVE; WE SUPPORT WOMEN’S RIGHTS; WE ARE POC INCLUSIVE; WE ARE SENSITIVE TO MENTAL HEALTH INCLUSIVITY. \nIf your fiction\, creative nonfiction\, vignette\, flash\, or photography jazzes with the above\, we’re probably gonna dig it.  Not everything we accept for publication looks the same.  That said\, words that describe stories we tend to like might include rural\, hardscrabbled\, rough-hewn\, pulpy\, noirish… and\, of course\, GRITTY. \nIn short\, we’re a Grit-Lit magazine focused on the rural working class and gritty realism. We are not a traditional western magazine.  Western stories we accept tend to stray from archetypes of females as damsels and cowboy gunslingin’ heroes. We’re generally not interested in historical western characters\, no matter how fictionalized.  We like stories that blend working class and literary language to explore characters and places that find themselves on the hardscrabble rather than heroic side of life. \nIn other words\, our cowboys are more likely to jump off a ’71 Ford Maverick than ride into a dusty town on a black steed. \nSome grit lit and rural authors we love and that inspire us are:  Larry Brown\, Harry Crews\, Donald Ray Pollock\, Willy Vlautin\, Denis Johnson\, Barry Hannah\, Brad Watson\, Breece D’J Pancake\, Bonnie Jo Campbell\, Dorothy Allison\, Bobbie Ann Mason\, Wiley Cash\, Erika T. Wurth\, and Sheldon Lee Compton.  Beyond that\, “classic” authors we dig vary and are certainly not contained to the following list\, but these are some :  Cormac McCarthy\, Larry McMurtry\, Sam Shepard\, Charles Portis\, Raymond Chandler\, Dashiell Hammett\, Flannery O’Connor\, William Faulkner\, John Steinbeck\, Kurt Vonnegut\, John Updike\, Raymond Carver\, Jim Harrison\, & Elmore Leonard.  \nWe’ve always got a soft spot for country western\, folk\, Americana or rural music.  If that finds its way into a piece\, we’re likely to be bias readers (don’t mean we’ll take it\, just\, you know\, it’ll tickle our fancy).  Terry Allen\, Townes van Zandt\, Hank Williams\, Mississippi John Hurt\, the Carter Family\, Nanci Griffith\, the Flatlanders\, Lyle Lovett\, Robert Earl King\, Old Crow Medicine Show\, Johnny Cash\, Dom Flemons\, Willie Nelson\, Steve Earle\, Gillian Welch\, Dwight Yoakam\, Justin Townes Earle\, John Prine\, Charley Crockett\, Colter Wall\, Tom Waits\, Waylon Jennings\, Merle Haggard\, Charlie Pride and Bob Dylan reign supreme here.

SUMMARY:P - The 2025 Palette Poetry Prize
DESCRIPTION:The 2025 Palette Poetry Prize\njudged by Palette Poetry editors\n  \n\n\n\n\n\nAs seasons shift and as our team grows and transitions\, we at Palette invite you to submit your poetry to our 2025 Palette Poetry Prize! From July 21 to September 21\, we are seeking poems that celebrate the community we have by meditating on the role of the poet in this pivotal moment in time. We invite you to consider our mission statement: \n“When times are dark\, the world often turns to poets for insight and for language reanimated. Palette Poetry is here to paint our small part of the world with truth through poetry\, as imaginative\, eviscerating\, and provoking as truth can be.” \nWhat does it mean to be a beacon of light when times are dark? What keeps you afloat amidst unsurety? How do we as poets paint the truth in a world oversaturated with information? Is there a truth you can offer to the public? A truth you can offer to your private self? \nWinners will be selected by the Palette editors. The winner will be awarded $3\,000 and publication\, the first runner-up will receive $300 and publication\, and the second runner-up will receive $200 and publication. Finalists may also be considered for publication. \nWhether you are an established poet or have just picked up the pen yesterday\, we welcome you to join us in this reflection exercise. Send us your most innovative and exciting poetry. Send us poems that are grounding. Send us your truth. \nSubmission Guidelines: Please read carefully! \n\nSubmissions are open internationally\, to any poet writing in English—inclusion of other languages is welcome\, as long as the poem is largely written in English. At this time\, Palette does not accept translated work unless you are also the author of the original poem.\nYour submission must be no more than three poems and under ten pages. Please submit all your poems in ONE document. Please begin each poem on a new page and include each poem’s individual title.\nWe do accept multiple submissions (of one to three poems apiece)\, but each submission will include the $20 reading fee.\nWe accept simultaneous submissions—just please send us a note if your work is accepted for publication elsewhere.\nWe are only accepting unpublished work. If your poem has been published elsewhere\, even on a blog or on social media\, it is not eligible.\nWriters from historically marginalized groups are invited to submit for free until we reach the fifty free entries budgeted for this particular contest. (This category is now closed.)\nDO NOT INCLUDE your name or identifying information in the document OR submission title box.\nPlease include a brief cover letter in the cover letter box with your publication history\, if any. This text box is where you can include your name and/or bio! If you select the editorial feedback option\, this cover letter is also where you can name which poem you’d like feedback on. To safeguard our reading staff\, please include content warnings in the cover letter\, if applicable\, as well.\nPalette Poetry does not consider or review AI-generated work. Submissions utilizing AI tools will be automatically declined.\nReview our FAQ page for frequently asked questions.\nNOTE: If after submitting you notice an error in your submission\, please message us rather than withdrawing and resubmitting your submission. We can open it to editing once so you can correct the error.\nPalette Poetry does not accept AI-produced work.\nContest closes September 21\, 2025. Submitters will be notified of their submission status within twelve weeks of the contest closing date.\n\n\n\n\n  \nEntry fee: $20\n
