SUMMARY:P - 2021 Goldstein Poetry Prize
DESCRIPTION:Please submit up to 5 previously unpublished poems with a total page count of no more than 10 pages. Poets at all stages of their careers are encouraged to submit. Multiple submissions are permitted with multiple fees.  Simultaneous submissions are acceptable but please leave us a note to withdraw individual poems if they are accepted elsewhere. All submissions will be considered for publication. This year’s final judge will be Sumita Chakraborty. The prize is now $1\,000 and publication in an upcoming issue of the journal. \nGoldstein Prize Guidelines \n1.    We accept submissions via Submittable and use its tools to ensure that all identifying information is hidden from our contest readers throughout the selection process. \n2.    We ask entrants not to include their names or contact information within the document they upload to Submittable\, its title\, or its file name. \n3.   Up to 20 submissions will be passed on\, without identifying information within them\, to the judge. \n4.   Close friends\, relatives\, students\, and former students of the judge\, are excluded from the contest. Likewise\, the current Editorial Board and staff of MQR\, as well as their immediate family members\, are excluded from the contest. Graduates of the Helen Zell Writers Program in the last 3 years and current faculty and staff of that program are also excluded.  If any of the selected authors fall under these categories they will be disqualified\, and a replacement will be chosen from among the finalists. \nWe feel acquaintance and/or participation in a workshop (outside of semester-long academic settings) taught by the judge should not be a disqualifying factor\, so long as none of the poems in a manuscript is recognizable to the judge. \nFor the purposes of this contest\, we’ll call a “close friend” anyone with whom we have regular direct correspondence. And please remember that if a poem is recognizable to the judge\, it will be disqualified.

SUMMARY:PNF - The Blood Project ROLLING DEADLINE
DESCRIPTION:At its core\, the The Blood Project uses a case-based approach to blood disorders. Science and medicine are currently rooted in big data. For a given disease\, the focus is not on a single patient\, but rather on hundreds or thousands of patients that yield statistically significant results. Such studies are no doubt critical and have revolutionized medicine. But lost in the shuffle is a consideration of the individual patient\, and it is this “unit of investigation” that we wish to emphasize as a teaching device. \nIn the end\, our goal is to bring blood to life\, to share the wonders and uncover the secrets of this remarkable entity. We want you to feel and see and touch your own blood – even if metaphorically. We want you to celebrate your blood and think about it in new ways\, as a river of life that permeates you – that is you. \nLink to TBP Website \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				We welcome submissions from our users\, whether a case study\, a peripheral smear\, one or more FAQs\, an essay\, poem or creative writing piece. All submissions will be peer-reviewed\, typically by members of the TBP Advisory Board\, but also by external reviewers where appropriate. \nInstructions for submissions are found ON THIS PAGE.

SUMMARY:N - Yes! Magazine Call for Submissions: The Pleasure Issue
DESCRIPTION:The oppressive systems under which we all live make our every experience one of transaction\, production\, or accumulation. These experiences have convinced us to believe that only certain people—those who identify as White or wealthy or able-bodied or male—are deserving of or entitled to experience pleasure. Likewise\, these systems insist that pleasure is a luxury\, only rightfully enjoyed as a reward for narrowly defined\, capitalistic “success\,” rather than an inherent—and necessary—human experience. \nIn our work toward transformation\, equity\, and justice for all\, many of us deny ourselves the actual experiences of aliveness that we’re fighting for. In the face of urgent crises\, we exalt the struggle\, believing pleasure is something that is either inaccessible to us or that we don’t deserve until we win our collective liberation. \nBut without pleasure\, there is no true liberation. The more just\, equitable\, compassionate world that we seek to build must include the experience of pleasure by all. \nIn the 2022 summer issue of YES! Magazine\, The Pleasure Issue\, we will interrogate the underlying beliefs that keep us from feeling joy and satisfaction in our lives\, including the beliefs that we don’t deserve pleasure\, that we can’t access pleasure without money\, that it’s impossible for justice and pleasure to coexist\, that “doing the work” has to be centered in pain and suffering\, and that we can’t take time for joy amid our struggles. \nThe solutions we’ll explore will include unlearning individualism in favor of a collective worldview rooted in pleasure. At a collective level\, this may include following the impulse of yes\, seeking the experience of belonging\, and leaning into feelings of delight\, wonder\, joy\, and contentment. At the individual level\, it may include discovering how to find balance in the things that give us pleasure\, learning to harness the power and wisdom of pleasure\, organizing with a focus on what we long for and love rather than what we are resisting\, and listening to and living from the body. \nWhere are there compelling stories on these topics in your communities? Send us your leads and pitches for reported stories on initiatives or groups that cultivate pleasure as a possibility for transformational change. \nAll of the stories we seek will be examples of excellent journalism and storytelling: stories that are well-researched with compelling characters and that demonstrate struggle and resolution. Hurry and send your pitches to summer2022@yesmagazine.org by Jan. 23 to be considered for the summer issue. (After that\, you can continue to send them to submissions@yesmagazine.org.)

SUMMARY:F - Clash of the Query Letters Contest
DESCRIPTION:In the fiction world\, a query letter alone is not enough to land representation. The manuscript’s first sentence\, first paragraph\, and first page are the crucial test. However\, a query letter acts as a writer’s resume or c/v. It sets the tone\, lays out the book’s market potential\, and introduces the human behind the words and ideas. And of course\, it also pitches the story itself. While an ideal query letter may not seal the deal\, it will fill literary agents with eager excitement—a most helpful frame of mind for them to be in as they turn to your sample pages.\n\nOur judge\, Michelle Barker\, will be asking herself one question:\ndoes this query letter convince me that I’m in the hands of an adept \nnovelist with a unique and engaging story to tell?\n\nFirst place: $700 CAD\n\nSecond place: $200 CAD\nThird place: $100 CAD\n\nAll three finalists will be published on the Chopping Blog and receive\ncomplimentary access to a Darling Axe self-paced course. \nTHE FINER POINTS\n• Entry is $5 CAD \n• Optional feedback for $20 CAD\n• One page: maximum 500 words\n• Original\, unpublished\, unrepresented work only\n• Once you’ve paid\, send your docx/pdf to contest@darlingaxe.com\n• Submission deadline: January 31

We believe that intent to act ethically\, clarity of guidelines\, and transparency of process form the foundation of an ethical contest. To that end\, we agree to 1) conduct our contests as ethically as possible and to address any unethical behavior on the part of our readers\, judges\, or editors; 2) to provide clear and specific contest guidelines—defining conflict of interest for all parties involved; and 3) to make the mechanics of our selection process available to the public. This Code recognizes that different contest models produce different results\, but that each model can be run ethically. We have adopted this Code to reinforce our integrity and dedication as a publishing community and to ensure that our contests contribute to a vibrant literary heritage. \nCrazyhorse Annual Contest Selection Process \n1st Round of Judging: Blind Read by Genre Editors. Finalists (approximately 10 poems\, 10 pieces of fiction/prose\, and 10 pieces of nonfiction) will then be forwarded to the Contest Judges for the 2nd Round of Judging. \n2nd Round of Judging: Blind Read by Contest Judges.  Judges change on a yearly basis. \nWinners and runners-up will be announced by June 1st. \nConflicts of Interest: Anyone with affiliation with a judge is ineligible to enter in that category.

SUMMARY:PF - The First Line: "Rayna sat in front of the mirror removing her makeup and wondered who she would discover underneath"
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of The First Line is to jump start the imagination-to help writers break through the block that is the blank page. Each issue contains short stories that stem from a common first line; it also provides a forum for discussing favourite first lines in literature. The First Line is an exercise in creativity for writers and a chance for readers to see how many different directions we can take when we start from the same place. \nFiction: All stories must be written with the first line provided. The line cannot be altered in any way\, unless otherwise noted by the editors. The story should be between 300 and 5\,000 words (this is more like a guideline and not a hard-and-fast rule; going over or under the word count won’t get your story tossed from the slush pile). The sentences can be found on the home page of The First Line’s website\, as well as in the prior issue. Note: We are open to all genres. We try to make TFL as eclectic as possible. \nPoetry: We do accept poetry\, though rarely. We have no restrictions on form or line count\, but all poems must begin with the first line provided. The line cannot be altered in any way. \nAll Submissions: Writers should include a two- to three-sentence biography of themselves that we can use in the journal should your story\, poem\, or essay be accepted. \nMultiple Submissions: We don’t mind if you want to submit multiple submissions for the same issue. However\, it is unlikely we will use more than one of your stories or poems in the same issue. \nSubmissions: We prefer you send manuscripts via email to submission (@) thefirstline (dot) com. We accept stories in MS Word or Word Perfect format (we prefer attachments). Please do not send pdf versions of your story or links to Google docs. Make sure your name and contact information\, as well as your bio\, are part of the attachment. Stories also can be sent to The First Line‘s post office box. No manuscripts will be returned without an accompanying SASE with sufficient return postage. \n\n\nNotification: We don’t make decisions about submissions until after each issue closes. We typically send notices four weeks after the issue’s deadline to everyone who submitted. You can also check the website’s home page for each issue’s production status. \n\n\n\n\nPayment: We pay on publication: $25.00 – $50.00 for fiction\, $5.00 – $10.00 for poetry\, and $25.00 for nonfiction (all U.S. dollars). We also send you a copy of the issue in which your piece appears. You’ll receive your money and issue at the same time. \n\n\n\n\n\nNote to our international writers: Postage cost for sending author copies overseas is a little high\, so we are reducing international author payment by the amount it would cost to send one author copy overseas. However\, if you would like to receive an electronic version of the issue (PDF) instead of a hard copy\, author payment will not change.

SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submissions to The Medley.  Theme: "Layers"
DESCRIPTION:The Medley is now accepting entries for its seventh issue! The submission window will remain open till 15 February 2022. \nFor this issue\, we are on the lookout for works that articulate the theme\, LAYERS.\nLayers are veils of identities. All the skins we adorn and all the thoughts we carry are all nothing but layers that blanket our existence and layers that showcase our potential. They conceal us; they become us. Layer by layer\, we all are a thousand someone or a hundred something\, shouting\, starving\, and searching for an identity. \nThe layers of our feral world are ever-increasing in the changing geopolitics\, in epidemic proportions\, and in the sense of community. We all end up housing these layers of the world in us\, which mask and unmask our real selves. \nLayers are diverse and colourful. Within a feral world do they paint our canvas with shades of identities. From these thousand combinations and hundred dichotomies\, emerges an authentic you. A you that is layered in uniqueness. \nNon-themed submissions will also be accepted for the issue. \nThe guidelines below provide basic information on submissions that may be accepted. Look for per issue announcement to learn more. \n\n\nGeneral Guidelines\n\n\nWe wish to invite themed as well as non-themed entries for the sections of Fiction\, Non-Fiction and Poetry\, with any variety of style\, structure\, content and genre.

We want poetry and prose that sings\, fragments itself and takes flight. Give us your best\, most daring pieces\, exploring new terrains and new metaphors\, pieces that sketch out paths and avenues in an otherwise unknown wasteland. We’re looking for diversity\, versatility and for new voices of representation from all over the globe.\nPROSE: Only 1 piece at a time\, 2500 words maximum. \nPOETRY: Up to 3 poems at a time\, no length limits. \nProse and poetry should ideally be directly pasted in the body of the email.
