The Whistling Fire is proud to announce our on going Guest Editor Themed Months.
Our January Guest Editor is Chema Guijarro
Submission Deadline December 20th
Dear Writers,
If, like me, you’ve forced your voice or your characters’ voices into something mainstream-American readers can relate to, you’re in luck: Whether you prefer the get-me-if-you-can approach of Junot Díaz, the slang-and-gibberish-loving style of Julio Cortázar, the future/alternate-reality speak of Anthony Burgess and Michael Chabon, or the non-patronizing elegance-in-translation magic of Mary Yukari Waters… now’s your time to show The Whistling Fire what you’ve got.
I will be looking for fiction and non-fiction that any English-speaking reader can appreciate in spite of a language barrier.
Looking forward to reading your work,
Chema Guijarro
