A new literary journal to keep in mind: CARTAGENA JOURNAL
SALT PUBLISHING
- “NORFOLK GOTHIC”. We are looking for dark fiction set explicitly in the English county of Norfolk. That is, works which centrally feature Norfolk settings and landscapes and which deal with the sinister side of human nature, containing elements of threat, menace, fear and death.
- LITERARY FICTION. We are looking for accessible, original, serious and compelling literary novels – though not experimental fiction.
- CRIME FICTION We are looking for sophisticated and original literary crime fiction; dark, fast-paced thrillers (especially those which feature both UK and continental European settings); traditional mainstream detective fiction and procedurals.
- FANTASY FICTION. We are looking for adult fantasy novels – science fiction, fantasy and horror, with an emphasis on the literary. These may include stark, post-apocalyptic settings; futureworlds; supernatural thrillers; paranormal adventure; monster fiction (especially with a profoundly literary and original take on species and identity); police states; new urban decadence, fin-de-siècle excess and political and social disorder.
A new literary journal to keep in mind: CARTAGENA JOURNAL
Hey Everybody! Cartagena is a new journal open for submissions for our inaugural issue!
If it’s helpful, here are some writers we like: Sherman Alexie, Nelson Algren, Steve Almond, Aimee Bender, Jorge Luis Borges, Charles Bukowski, Robert Olen Butler, e.e. cummings, Jonathan Safran Foer, Knut Hamsun, Denis Johnson, James Joyce, Miranda July, Mary Karr, Cormac McCarthy, Henry Miller, Christopher Moore, Lorrie Moore, Pablo Neruda, Anais Nin, Michael Ondaatje, Carl Sandburg, William Saroyan, Jim Shepard, Shel Silverstein, Zadie Smith, Kevin Young. There are many many others and many we have yet to discover. Enlighten us.
SHORT STORIES, TRAVEL PIECES, POEMS, ARTWORK/PHOTOGRAPHY.
Call for submissions: Deadline 15th May. We are accepting poetry, short fiction, prose, essays and visual arts like cartoons, photography, graphic design and video. Email your submissions to submissions@olentangyreview.com.
James H. Duncan, tells us that the
Hobo Camp Review
is accepting submissions for their summer edition.
We like travelers, troubadours, and transients of all shapes and sizes, especially those who can spin a good yarn, one with a sense of vagrancy, dark yet jovial and humble in the most outlaw manner possible. While we like to envision Steinbeck, Li Po, McCullers, Bukowski, and Kerouac sitting around a campfire eating hot dogs and beans with a stray dog named Tom Waits wagging his tail at their feet, we don’t want a rehash. We’ve been eating hash here for months and we’re sick of it. Be original. Be honest. Be on the move. We like tales from the road, Beat-ish poems with a little sparkle and a little dust, and stories that sound good by the firelight with the train running somewhere in the distance, but that doesn’t mean that’s all we like. Try us, we’re an easy going lot. We like to laugh, but we’re just as apt to get all sentimental about home. Either way, it’ll be time to move on soon, so nothing too long. Get creative, get entertaining, and get talking.

District Literary Journal:
Art, Poetry and Prose:
Number Eleven: a new online literary journal that publishes short stories, flash fiction, graphic novel artwork and illustrations. Number Eleven is published quarterly.
Description
We are looking for new and interesting work. We like to read edgy and arresting prose, stories that have the ability to inspire and amaze us (by that we mean jealous that we didn't write them ourselves). We want to see illustrations and graphic novel artwork that makes us stop and think, artwork that challenges how we see things. If you can create that then we would like to publish it. Playing safe is not an option, we don't want to push boundaries, we want to remove them. Be bold, be brave, be yourself.
Submissions can be sent to numbereleveneditor@gmail.com. Please enter the word 'submission' and your own name in the subject field. Attach a bio as well (100 words or so, nothing epic) just so we know a little about you. We will endeavour to reply to your submission within 4 weeks (but if we don't then don't hate us). At present we are NOT accepting submissions of photography or poetry. Our word count for short stories is 4000 words (we are flexible though) and 800 words for flash fiction. If submitting flash fiction, please don't submit any more than two at a time.
Now get writing, create and share it with us. As Maya Angelou once said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
