SUMMARY:PFN - The Calendula Review: A Journal of Narrative Medicine Seeking Submissions on the Theme of: Dormancy
DESCRIPTION:Submission Guidelines\n\n\nThe theme for Issue 5 is Dormancy: \nAs we approach these cooler months\, we invite you to send us work that reflects on states of dormancy\, whether they be chosen\, given\, natural\, unnatural\, imposed—stories of time spent resting\, sleeping\, going under; the experiences of liminal states of consciousness\, or unconsciousness. We invite you to explore the seasons through their ability to direct us into\, and out of states of action; the longer nights; the way the earth changes—how it buries itself\, and its creatures\, in survival-slumber; the way our bodies and minds adapt; what ails us\, what gives us hope. Please feel free to interpret the theme in as many ways as it brings meaning to you. \n\nPlease read this page carefully as it shares important information on submission guidelines and terms. Please also read through the HIPAA identifiers as we abide by those for all work. We look forward to reading/viewing your pieces! \n​ \nWe receive submissions through TCRSubmissions@cnsu.edu only\, and have two reading periods per year (spring and fall). Fall issues are themed\, spring issues are not. We ask for your best previously unpublished prose\, poetry\, and hybrid work in the realm of Narrative Medicine when we are open. We ask that if your work was accepted in a previous issue\, that you skip a submission period and wait till the next one before submitting again. If you sent us work that was not accepted\, you may submit new pieces for consideration. You are welcome to send any questions via the contact form\, however\, any work sent outside reading periods\, or using the contact form\, will not be read.  \n​ \nPoetry: We accept up to 5 poems in whichever format you see fit\, but no more than five pages in all; Times New Roman\, 12 pt. font in a Word file. If you have specific formatting for your poem or you have embedded text within an image\, please state this in the description of your submission (you may send us a PDF for reference if this applies). We are open to hybrid poetry pieces that include visual and written elements. \nProse: We accept prose submissions (both fiction and creative nonfiction) of up to 3000 words. Please double-space your work and use Times New Roman\, 12 pt. font. Please send your piece in Word format. We accept up to three pieces of Flash at once as long as the culminating word count is under 3000 words. Please put all pieces in one document with clear titles for each.​ \n\nGeneral guidelines: \n\n\nEach fall issue has a presiding theme. Spring issues are not themed. If the issue is themed\, priority will be given to work that meets that theme. \n\n\nThough we are fairly flexible on how this is interpreted\, please reflect on whether your work fits within the genre of Narrative Medicine before submitting. For a clear description of what Narrative Medicine is\, please visit the Home page and read past issues.  \n\n\nPlease ensure that you include a bio of 100 words or less at the foot of your document\, and a short cover letter in the body of your email with your submission. \n\n\nYou may submit in only one category\, and once per submission period. \n\n\nWe do not currently charge a fee for submissions and we cannot pay contributors at this time. \n\n\nOur turnaround time is roughly two months. \n\n\nCurrently\, we can only accept submissions written in English\, or that are translated to English. Please reach out if you have questions about this regarding any specific pieces. Quotes or small sections used for dialog or poetic effect are fine. \n\n\nWe will immediately refuse anything that contains hateful\, extremely or gratuitously graphic\, or harmful language or ideas. \n\n\nWe do not currently offer feedback.  \n\n\nWe do not currently publish book reviews. \n\n\nPlease do not submit previously published work\, or work you have sent us before.  \n\n\nIf your work was accepted for the most recent published issue\, please do not submit to the following issue; we ask that you wait for the next one. \n\n\nSimultaneous submissions are okay\, but please immediately withdraw\, or let us know if your work has been accepted elsewhere. \n\n\nPlease proof read your work for errors. We will not edit extensively for publication. Work that contains excessive errors will be rejected. \n\n\nThe Author retains rights to all work upon publication\, but we do ask that if the work is published elsewhere afterward\, you credit The Calendula Review as the initial publisher. \n\n\nPlease be sure to adhere to HIPAA guidelines on identifiers. \n\n\nPlease title your submission as outlined below. \n\n\nWe do not accept anything written in part\, or in full\, by AI. Please do not submit anything written by AI. \n\n\n​ \nSubmissions should be emailed to TCRSubmissions@cnsu.edu during the open period only\, and with the subject line: GENRE_NAME_TITLE OF WORK. For example: POETRY SUBMISSION_WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE_SONNET 18. Please include a short cover letter in the body of the email\, and an attach your work in Word format or similar. Please also remember to insert a short bio of 100 words or less at the end of your Word document so we have everything in one place; make sure your name and email address are clearly stated in the document with a word count in the top right corner. Please note that once you’ve sent your work\, you should get an auto response saying your work has been received. If you do not see this after a couple of minutes\, check your “outbox” or “sent” folder to make sure your message went out. \n\n​By submitting their work\, the Author agrees to the terms laid out in these guidelines. If accepted\, a contract for the piece including these terms will be offered to the Author. \n​ \nPlease be sure to adhere to HIPAA guidelines on identifiers when submitting any kind of work. This is especially pertinent for work in the realm of narrative medicine. For a list of identifiers and information on HIPAA compliance\, please go here.

SUMMARY:PFN - The Medley Seeking Submissions on the Theme: Laal
DESCRIPTION:Issue #11 : Laal\n\nWrite to us what laal invokes for you. \nConcept Note\nLaal (लाल) translates to the colour Red. But red is\, and never was\, just a colour. From a whimsical midnight thought\, it unfolds into symbols\, diverging meanings and layers. It transcends the visual and enters abstraction\, shows us multitudes – fear\, love\, shame\, dignity\, trauma\, grief\, and guilt. A colour shaped like an infinitely layered cake: the deeper you cut\, the more it reveals. From the faint pinks of a sun dipping below the skyline to the darkest shade of dried blood\, Laal is never still. \nTraditionally\, Laal is romanticised as the colour of love\, passion\, and chemistry. Of burning connections – Of the rose pressed between pages after a first date\, left to decay with time – Of the spilt wine of heartbreak on the wooden floors of a house once shared. But what happens when that love rots? When it’s rejected? Lost? When it turns on you? When it begins to haunt? \nIt is also the colour of dignity – both claimed and stripped. The Sindoor\, worn in the parting of a woman’s hair. For some a choice\, for others\, a mark of sacrifice\, of compulsion. The color of the bridal gown\, of the bride bound to a man when her heart belonged to a woman. Of being promised a fairytale and receiving silence instead. It is the colour of quiet oppression\, of stories swallowed\, of identities forced to fold inwards. \nLaal stains in other ways too; blemishes in the memory of a war survivor\, who sees flashes of Laal every time their eyes shut\, on bodies that carry histories never recorded. Blood that dried but never really disappeared. \nLet this colour bleed into every form\, every voice\, every memory. Let it remain untamed. The Medley waits for your submissions on Laal. \nYou can send your entries to themedley.ostraca@gmail.com. \n  \nGeneral Guidelines\nPROSE / ESSAYS : Only 2 pieces at a time\, 2500 words maximum\nPOETRY : Only 3 pieces at a time\, no word limit \n\nProse and poetry should ideally be directly pasted in the body of the email. If your work requires special formatting\, you may send it as an attachment\, preferably in the form of a word document. PDF files are also acceptable.\nAll submissions have to be accompanied by a short third-person bio of no more than 100 words\, along with a headshot/photograph of the submitter as an attachment.\nThe category of your work – fiction\, non-fiction\, poetry – has to be mentioned in the subject of the submission email. Also\, state whether your submission is themed or non-themed.\nWe allow only for previously unpublished works. We are open to simultaneous submissions (so long as you classify them as such and immediately let us know if they’re accepted elsewhere).\nThe Medley requires First Serial Rights and all archival rights. All rights revert back to the author upon publication.\nIf your work appears elsewhere in print or online\, please give due credit to The Medley as the place where your work first appeared.\nFor any queries\, you can email us at themedley.ostraca@gmail.com. We try to respond to submissions within 4-8 weeks of receiving them. If you do not hear from us till then\, you can drop us an email at the above-mentioned address.
