SUMMARY:PFN - Open Minds Quarterly Seeks Submissions.  Theme: "Cycles"
DESCRIPTION:Open Minds Quarterly is a literary journal that features explorations of life in a mad world. We welcome writing and art from people with lived experience of what is variously called mental health challenges\, mental illness\, madness\, and neurodivergence. We strive to promote these voices and perspectives by publishing work based on first-hand lived experience. \nThe theme for Summer 2022 will be: CYCLES. We encourage you to think of this theme broadly and incorporate into your work. Pieces that follow the theme will have a much higher chance of being selected for this issue than pieces that don’t follow the theme. Nonfiction\, reviews\, open letters\, and research should relate specifically to experiences of madness or mental health challenges. Poetry and fiction submissions do not need to focus on madness/mental health\, but we may prioritize pieces that we feel fit our mandate and this issue’s theme. \nYou may submit one (1) of the following: \n\nNONFICTION—First-hand accounts\, personal essays\, and memoir. 1 piece\, 3000 word limit.\nFICTION—Creative explorations of life through a mad lens. 1 piece\, 3000 word limit.\nRESEARCH—Studies on mental health that pass a formal ethics review. 1 piece\, 3000 word limit.\nLETTERS—Opinion pieces and letters for our editor or readers. 1 piece\, 3000 word limit.\n\nOR four (4) pieces of the following: \n\nPOETRY—From poets well-versed in mental health challenges. 4 piece limit.\nEXPERIMENTAL—Thinking and writing outside of the other boxes. 4 piece limit.\n\nWe accept simultaneous submissions. Please notify us as soon as possible if your work is accepted elsewhere. We do not publish work that has been selected for publication elsewhere. We do not accept previously published pieces. We do not publish excerpts from longer works. \nYou must be 18 or older to make a submission. \nPlease note\, it may take up to 60 days after the submission period has closed to review your submission.

SUMMARY:PFN - Apofenie Magazine: Re(writing) Home
DESCRIPTION:For many writers\, the idea of “home” emerges through imagined intimacies—entangled in the experiences of longing and belonging and textured through the languages of memory and loss. In the Epilogue to her biomythography\, Zami\, Audre Lorde describes how\, as a daughter of immigrants\, “once home was a long way off\, a place I had never been to but know out of my mother’s mouth.” Similarly\, James Baldwin remarked that “Perhaps home is not a place\, but an irrevocable condition.” Home is\, in many ways\, not a location but a contouring of one’s history\, both material and imagined. Moreover\, for those who live in the margins\, this concept often fails to capture the social cost of their liminality. In this issue of Apofenie\, we seek poetry\, prose\, and nonfiction that addresses this question of home—its problems\, possibilities\, architectures\, and mythologies. To what extent does the idea of home offer an apparatus for belonging? What are some of ways that it can be reclaimed and reimagined? We are especially interested in work that thematizes the problem of home amidst dislocation\, war\, post-coloniality\, disability\, and marginalized identities (including LGBTQ+). \nPlease send all submissions to apofeniemagazine@gmail.com. Submissions should specify genre and include a three-sentence biographical statement. Submissions must reflect the theme in order for consideration. \nWe accept simultaneous submissions as long as we are notified immediately if the work is accepted elsewhere. For translations\, we require a statement that you have received the author’s and/or the publisher’s permission to submit it for publication. We will not consider previously published work. All rights revert back to the author upon publication. \nUnfortunately\, we are not able to pay contributors at this time but are working on changing that. (If you’d like to help us support great literature\, become a Patreon subscriber). \nPoetry: 5 poems maximum \nFiction/Nonfiction: 5\,000 words maximum \nFlash Fiction: up to 1\,000 words

SUMMARY:P - Prairie Schooner Raz-Shumaker Book Prize Contest
DESCRIPTION:The 2021 Prairie Schooner Raz-Shumaker Book Prize Contest opens to submissions on January 15\, 2022\, and will remain open until March 15\, 2022. \nPrizes \nWinners will receive $3000 and publication through the University of Nebraska Press. \nEligibility \nThe Prairie Schooner Raz-Shumaker Book Prize Series welcomes manuscripts from all living writers\, including non-US citizens\, writing in English. Both unpublished and published writers are welcome to submit manuscripts. We will not consider manuscripts that have previously been published\, which includes self-publication.  Manuscripts may contain stories or poems that have been published in journals or in chapbook form; however\, if the full-length manuscript includes work from a previously published chapbook\, the majority of the manuscript must be additional work not appearing in the chapbook.  Writers may enter both contests. Simultaneous submissions are accepted\, but we ask that you notify us immediately if your manuscript is accepted for publication somewhere else. No past or present paid employee of Prairie Schooner or the University of Nebraska Press or current faculty or student at the University of Nebraska will be eligible for the prizes. \nFees \nA $25.00 reading fee must accompany each submission. Submittable supports multiple currency options. Multiple submissions are welcome\, with separate fees. \nFor more guidelines\, please select your genre category below. \nYou may also visit our website here: http://prairieschooner.unl.edu/book-prize for more info. \nFor additional questions not answered within the guidelines\, e-mail Jamaica Baldwin\, Book Prize Coordinator\, at psbookprize@unl.edu. Please note we may not be able to respond to questions already addressed within the guidelines. \nContest Code of Ethics \nPrairie Schooner\, as a member of the Council of Literary Magazines and Presses\, subscribes to this code of ethics for our annual book series competition: CLMP’s community of independent literary publishers believes that ethical contests serve our shared goal: to connect writers and readers by publishing exceptional writing. 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 1) to 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.

SUMMARY:P - Submissions for the 2022 Airlie Prize are now open!
DESCRIPTION:Submissions for the 2022 the Airlie Prize will be open January 1st through March 15th\, 2022 to all poets writing in English\, regardless of place of residence. The winner will be notified in the fall following the submission and will receive a $1000 cash award upon publication of the book in September of the next year. The initial print run is 500 copies. \nAt Airlie Press\, our vision and mission are to publish books of poetry that are compelling\, innovative\, and representative of diverse voices. To that end\, submissions to the Airlie Prize will no longer be read anonymously. As a press\, we commit to participating in the ongoing conversation and practice regarding inclusion and equity. We encourage submissions from underrepresented voices and poets from marginalized communities. \nIn the interest of transparency\, we’d like to share our selection process. All manuscripts will be read by two Airlie Press editors (either past or present) and previous Airlie Prize winners. Each reader will choose 2-3 manuscripts to advance to the second round. Our main criteria in reviewing manuscripts is the quality of the work. All current editors will then read the manuscripts that have advanced to the second round\, and each will choose their top two selections. From that group of finalists\, the prize winner is chosen by consensus among all current editors. If you have submitted to the Airlie Prize before\, we encourage you to try again\, as the judging team of Airlie Press editors varies from year to year. \nPoets previously published or contracted to be published by Airlie Press are ineligible to enter this contest\, as are members of the Airlie advisory board. In the case that an entry to the contest is made by a close connection (friend\, relative\, student\, or former student) of one of the Airlie Prize readers\, that reader will recuse themselves from the review of that manuscript in the first round. Manuscripts that advance to the final round will be read by all current editors\, regardless of connection\, and a winner will be chosen by consensus. For the purposes of this contest\, we also define “close connection” as anyone with whom a reader has direct correspondence (either written or verbal) once a month or more. As poetry is a relatively small community\, we believe a passing acquaintance with one of the readers does not necessitate a recusal. \nSubmissions are accepted via Submittable during the submission period. Entry fee: $25 ($33 if you would like to receive a copy of the winning book; $38 for those residing outside the US wishing to receive the book). \nManuscript Guidelines: \n1.      Manuscripts should be 48 to 90 pages of original poetry in English (excluding front matter and end matter). No more than one poem should appear on a page. \n2.      Please be sure manuscript pages are numbered. \n3.      Please include a table of contents. \n4.      Please use a standard\, easy-to-read font such as Times New Roman in twelve-point size. \n5.      Poems included in the submission may have appeared previously in magazines or anthologies but may not have been previously published in a book-length collection of the author’s own work. \n6.      Authors may submit more than one manuscript as long as no material is duplicated between submissions. Each submission requires a separate entry fee. \n7.      This contest is limited to single-author submissions. Translations are not eligible. \n8.      We accept simultaneous submissions\, but ask that you notify us and withdraw your manuscript from Submittable if it is accepted by another publisher. Entry fees are nonrefundable. \n9.    The contest winner will participate in the judging for the Airlie Prize in the year following their book’s publication.

Note: No handwritten manuscripts will be considered. \nNO READER’S FEE. \nNOTE: Previously published pieces are welcome\, provided that the submission fits the theme and that the author owns the copyright. \nMail to: THEMA\, Box 8747\, Metairie\, LA 70011-8747. \nOutside the US: email thema@cox.net \nOn acceptance for publication\, we will pay the following amount: short story\, $25; short-short piece (up to 1000 words)\, $10; poem. \nCopyright reverts to author after publication. \nUnlike many publishers\, we prefer works submitted by the authors themselves\, without the involvement of an agent. \nNo handwritten manuscripts will be considered. \nNOTE: We do not accept e-mailed submissions EXCEPT from authors who live outside the U.S. \nFor those living outside the U.S.\, submit manuscript as an email attachment (readable by MSWord ― either as a DOC file or an RTF file)\, and include the following information on the title page: target theme\, title of work\, name of author\, email address and physical address. \n\n\n\n\nShort Stories: All types welcome―both traditional and experimental \nSend to: Virginia Howard\, editor\, Box 8747\, Metairie\, LA 70011-8747 \nOutside the US: email to Virginia Howard at thema@cox.net \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat we like: a carefully constructed plot; good character delineation; clever plot twists \nWhat we don’t like: bedroom/bathroom profanity.  Why? \n\nIt’s boring! Writers should be more creative than to depend on the same tired and dubious language crutches to express surprise\, disdain\, shock\, bemusement\, anger\, sadness\, and other emotions.\nSuch profanity\, used in excess\, often serves as a camouflage for a weak plot. If the plot is good\, the story can be told much more effectively in nonscatologic language even though a character in the story may be sleazy.\nStories of lasting quality rarely need it.\n\nPoetry: All types of poetic form welcome. Submit no more than three poems per theme\, please. If more than three poems are submitted\, we will read only the first three poems in the stack. \nSend to: Gail Howard\, poetry editor\, Box 8747\, Metairie\, LA 70011-8747 \nOutside the US: email to Gail Howard at thema@cox.net \nWhat we like: poems that are thoughtfully constructed and carefully distilled. \nWhat we don’t like: sexually explicit wording. Subtlety is more creative.

SUMMARY:PFN - 2022 SWHNM Mentorship Program: Call for Applications
DESCRIPTION:DVAN NEWS\n\n\n\n2022 SWHNM Mentorship Program: Call for Applications\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJan 16\, 2022\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShe Who Has No Master(s)\, image from “Yellow Echoes” project in progress\, 2021\nShe Who Has No Master(s) is initiating a creative writing mentorship program led by and designed for Vietnamese and SE Asian diasporic women and nonbinary writers. The centering of this perspective is important because in most educational settings the focus on subject matter and perspectives of women/nonbinary SE Asian diasporic women is marginal\, if not totally unaddressed. In creating educational spaces that center those viewpoints\, we create a nourishing space in which aspiring writers can see themselves\, explore\, and embrace their own particularities\, and create more expansively. These mentorships will address both creative and professional aspects involved in the writing life. These offerings fulfill a dire contemporary need in our nation’s current environment for creative writing education. \nMentorship courses will be formatted in a “low-residency” style\, of monthly mentorship “packet” exchanges (via email and online i.e. video chat correspondences) between mentors and mentees/writing students\, from May to August 2022. For our inaugural year\, in order to work within limitations and uncertainties presented by public health concerns\, this will be a remote-only mentorship course. Applicants may be located anywhere in the world (but must be willing to schedule with a mentor based in US and Canada time zones). \nMentorship is designed so that each student receives intensive one-on-one guidance from their mentor. Mentees and mentors will also convene online in several group sessions\, where mentees will get to interact\, share creative work\, and discuss aspects of craft with their peers and the other mentors. Mentees should be passionate and committed to exploring creative writing\, ready to generate new creative work\, engage in revision processes\, and capable of working both independently as well as from writing prompts given by mentors. Mentors will work with mentees to tailor creative writing guidance that meets the mentees’ specific interests and needs. \nThe mentors for our inaugural 2022 mentorship program will be: Diana Khoi Nguyen\, Hoa Nguyen\, Lily Hoang\, and Vi Khi Nao. \nIf you are selected for a mentorship\, you will receive 4 months of tuition-free mentorship\, an extremely unique opportunity for mentees to work closely with distinguished\, award-winning women writers of the Vietnamese diaspora. Our first cohort will engage 4 students and 4 mentors. \nApplication Guidelines\n\n\nTo apply\, please register here and pay the $25 application fee before February 28\, 2022. \nThen\, send the following applications materials to she.who.has.no.masters@gmail.com: \n\nStatement of purpose / interest in this program [up to 500 words]:\n\nHow will this program benefit your writing life? What do you hope to receive from this course?\nWhat type of work have you made / wish to make / are interested in exploring?\nTell us what it means for you to be a diasporic writer or artist.\n\n\nCreative resume / CV (indicating MFA and/or publishing history\, if applicable)\nWork Sample:\n\n10-20 pages of content total\, in one or a mixture of genres (example: you may submit 10 pages of textual material + 10 min. of video or audio; or 15 pages of poetry + a 5-min. video; etc.)\nOpen to any genre: poetry\, prose (fiction\, creative nonfiction)\, hybrid\, multimedia\, etc.\nIf supplying video or audio material\, up to 10 minutes total\nIf supplying text and/or image\, must be formatted to the page (PDF file preferred)\, 10-20 pages total\nEach file should indicate your full name and the file subject. For example: “JaneNguyen_Statement” “JaneNguyen_Resume” “JaneNguyen_WorkSample”\n\n\n\nNote: To send us video\, audio or other media files\, please provide a work sample item sheet that includes links (i.e. Vimeo\, YouTube) to where the material can be seen/heard. Using timecode\, indicate exactly which portion of the media you would like us to review\, if the existing link contains more than the allotted 10 minutes of material. Or\, by default\, we will review the first 5-10 min. of material. \nIf you have questions or issues regarding how to send us your application materials\, or if you are in need of an application fee waiver\, please DM us at: she.who.has.no.masters@gmail.com

SUMMARY:P - Call for Submissions to FERAL.  Theme: "Time"
DESCRIPTION:Submissions\n\n\nSubmissions to FERAL: A Journal of Poetry & Art are currently OPEN! \n\nPhoto by Tim Mossholder on UnsplashCall\n\n\n\nWe’re open for submissions! The theme of our next issue is TIME. \nIsn’t it fascinating to think about the concept of time? It’s unique in the sense that all of us have the same amount of time in a day. But as you know all too well\, some people just seem to know how to make better use of it than others. At times\, it feels like you need more than 24 hours to get everything done. And during those fleeting moments when you clear your mind\, you realize that you’re in an endless race against time. \nPerhaps the best way to appreciate the value of time is to slow down. The clock will continue ticking\, but being mindful of every second allows you to identify the people\, things\, and activities that deserve most of your time. \nAnd while you’re at it\, you might want to listen to timeless hits\, many of which are actually songs about time. There are tons of songs with time in their titles\, and it’s interesting to dissect the distinctive message of each song. Some of them serve as reminders to take things easy and treasure what truly makes us happy. Others talk about how time is the only cure for the most painful wounds. Still\, some songs simply tell us to live in the moment. \nTo kick your thinking beanies into gear\, here’s a cool list of songs with TIME in the title! \n“One Moment in Time” by Whitney Houston\n“Time After Time” by Cyndi Lauper\n“Love me Two Times” by The Doors\n“Time is on my Side” by The Rolling Stones\n“Does Anybody Really Know What Time it is?” by Chicago\n“Time of my Life” by David Cook\n“Any Time at all” by The Beatles\n“Too Much Time on my Hands” by Styx\n“Old Time Rock n Roll” by Bob Seger\n“Times Like These” by Foo Fighters\n“Remember the Time” by Michael Jackson\n“One More Time” by Daft Punk\n“All This Time” by Sting\n“As Time Goes By” by Jimmy Durante\n“Haven’t Got Time for the Pain” by Carly Simon\n“Let the Good Times Roll” by BB King\n“Time” by Hootie & The Blowfish\n“Same Time” by The Script\n“Somewhere in Time” by John Barry\n“Last Time” by Reece\n“Take Your Time” by Sam Hunt\n“Wasting my Time” by Insomnia & Resident\n“A Thousand Bad Times” by Post Malone\n“So Little Time” by Arkarna \n(See the full list here…) \nAs long as your submissions consider TIME in some way\, we wanna see them! Check out our general info below for details on how to submit. \n\nGeneral Submission Guidelines: FERAL: A Journal of Poetry & Art \nWe’ve made some changes to our guidelines so please read all the information below.  \nWhat we are looking for: We want your brave\, your pain\, your love\, your teeth\, your howling beast. All styles\, forms and schools of poetry are welcome.\nPlease note that at the core of both FERAL and Animal Heart press is love. Although we wish it didn’t need to be said\, we will not accept any work that is racist\, homophobic\, sexist or discriminatory. We are committed to publishing a variety of new\, emerging and established voices. Further\, we are committed to inclusion and equity in publishing. We highly encourage submissions from underrepresented voices including\, but not limited to: women\, BIPOC\, LGBTQIA+\, and neurodivergent individuals. International submissions are welcome\, but we are only considering work in English at this time; no translations.\nFERAL nominates for the Best of the Net and the Pushcart Prize. \nSubmissions should be sent to: feralpoetryandart[AT]gmail[DOT]com\nIn the subject line of your email please type: LAST NAME – TYPE OF SUBMISSION (for example: GORDON – POETRY).\nCover Letters: We’ve heard you loud and clear about how daunting many of you find writing cover letters\, so they are no longer required.\nIf you want to include a cover letter we’d like to know a little about you (this is not your bio but rather an introduction to you as a human/poet/artist). At a minimum\, in the body of your email\, please provide your name and preferred pronouns. \nPOETRY:\nFor poetry submissions\, please submit 1-4 poems and attach your submission in a single document (doc. docx. pdf.) Please do not put your name or any identifying information on the submission. We will consider all forms of poetry including erasure poetry and visual poetry – surprise us!
