SUMMARY:PFN - Griffith Review Seeking Submissions: "Creation Stories"
DESCRIPTION:Griffith Review 80: Creation Stories\n  \nThe capacity to tell stories – along with language and the ability to create art – is seen as both intrinsic and unique to the human species. Over thousands of years\, we’ve forged narratives of our origins\, our journeys and our dreams as a means of accounting for who we are and to define our place in the world. \nIn the twenty-first century\, as our existential and environmental crises mount\, humanity’s place feels distinctly tenuous. What lessons from the past can inform\, even shape\, our increasingly uncertain future? And are the stories we’re telling ourselves about what comes next – environmental downfall or technological salvation – helping or hindering what we might do and where we might go? \nIn celebration of Griffith Review’s eightieth edition and twentieth anniversary\, Creation Stories looks to the stars above and the earth below to map our ever-evolving relationships with the world around us. From archaeology and astronomy to AI and transhumanism\, the preservation of traditional knowledge to the intricacies of postmodern identity\, this edition travels through time and space to explore the many tales of who we are and where we might be headed. \nThings for you to note: \n* We’re looking for non-fiction that responds to the theme.\n* We’d prefer pieces that are no longer than 4\,000 words (they can\, of course\, be much shorter than this).\n* Attention poets! We’ll be opening a separate poetry call-out in January – keep an eye on our social media and newsletter for more details soon.\n* We’ll let you know the outcome of your submission within eight weeks of the call-out closing date. \nSubmissions close at 11:59 pm AEST\, 13 January 2023 and should be made via Submittable.

SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submissions to Bethlehem Writers Roundtable.  Theme: "Jack of All Trades: Everyman’s Tales"
DESCRIPTION:$50 for published featured-author stories\n$20 for stories published on our &More page\n\n\n\n$10 for poems we publish \nPlease submit only one story or one poem for consideration at a time. Do not submit more than one story or poem until after you receive a final response to any prior submission. Once you receive either an acceptance or rejection\, you are welcome to submit a different work to us. \nYour manuscript length must be 2\,000 words or fewer (not including the title\, author name\, or contact information). \nWhat we are seeking:\nFor Prose (as described by editor Jerry McFadden) \nWe are an “old fashioned” editorial crew: we love stories. We admire great writing; we swoon at beautifully worded sentences and lovely descriptions\, and chuckle at clever metaphors–but we always choose a great story over all of that. We constantly receive great character sketches\, serious mood pieces\, wonderfully written scenes that in the end are just wonderful scenes or elegant reminiscences.… And we judge all of this by one simple standard–where is the story? \nWhat’s a story? A character (or characters) that we care for (or hate) in a conflict (plot) that leads to a plausible resolution that has an emotional effect on the character and on the readers. For us\, a terrific story trumps even superior writing. The writing quality may be less outstanding than in the character sketches\, mood pieces\, scenes\, or reminiscences\, if the story pulls us in and makes us root for the character as he/she wrestles through a conflict. \nThis does not disqualify memoirs or reminiscences\, as long as they are told as a story–a real-life story. You are the character fighting through a conflict which changed you somehow. If this hadn’t happened\, you wouldn’t be trying to tell us about it. \nSo send us a story\, real or imagined. Give us great writing\, but more important\, give us a great story. We will love you for it. \nFor Poetry (as described by editor Paul Weidknecht) \nWe enjoy reading poetry at the Roundtable and are intrigued as to how poets translate their work from the various themes we offer. We understand the nature of much poetry is personal\, often highly so\, making the process of what goes into accepting or rejecting a poem difficult to define. Poets might rightfully ask\, “What makes a good (publishable) poem?” To which editors might deliver the easy answer\, “We know it when we read it.”  Of course\, that answer is too slippery to be of any value\, so here are some observations about poetry and how poets might refine their work: \nWhile prose can stand a degree of dilution\, poetry is concentrated. From speaking with poets at writer’s conferences\, I’ve heard that word—concentrated—come up time and again. In a poem\, possibly due to its brevity compared to a short story\, readers roll around the ‘flavor’ of words in their minds\, sort of like a literary sommelier. Word number and choice are important\, as poetry readers (read: editors) don’t skim. \nPoems addressing emotional issues\, i.e.\, the tragedy of losing a loved one\, are most effective when they reach out\, causing the reader to reflect in a similar way\, and hopefully\, compelling multiple readings. A silent nod by a reader might be one of the best compliments a poet can receive. \nOther items of which poetry is fine; its originality is refreshing—as long as you keep the interest of someone reading that abstractness. When a poem becomes too much of a puzzle\, reading it becomes a chore. A poem is not a piece of flash fiction with line breaks; short stories do that better. Read the poem out loud. How does it sound? Does it stumble along under the leaden awkwardness of worn phrases or does it ascend in the inspiration of inventive language and imagery? \nPerhaps the two most important rules regarding the creation of poetry\, or any other piece of creative writing\, are the most obvious to understand and simplest to do: keep rewriting your own work; keep reading others’ work.
