Call for Submissions: Weave
Weave Magazine is now open to all submissions for its 7th issue. A print publication dedicated to promoting cultural diversity, Weave accepts the best works of literary fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, drama, and visual art that transfix, transport, and inspire.
Deadline: July 31, 2011
Poetry: 3-5 poems
Nonfiction* & Fiction: less than 3000 words
Flash Non/Fiction: less than 1000 words
Drama: less than 4,000 words
Reviews: less than 2000 words
Visual art: Black and white only
Detailed submissions guidelines can be found here.
More about Weave:
*Call for Creative Nonfiction submissions: Weave magazine accepts works of creative nonfiction from both emerging and established writers who strike a careful balance between the truth as it happened and the truth as the author has come to see it through the writing process. In other words, to simply tell a story that is "true" is not enough. The best creative nonfiction will demonstrate a close and methodical exploration of a subject and streamline that exploration through a rich, scenic narrative. Childhood memories, ended relationships, the birth of a child, the funeral of a dog, a trip abroad--quite literally any life experience can be turned into narrative. But the challenge--and reward--of writing creative nonfiction is in the "figuring out" of what it means in terms both personal and universal. In terms of content, Weave is looking for strong voices from diverse cultural backgrounds; however, the quality of work is our top priority when considering submissions.

Call for Short Poems and Prose: Inch
Call for Short Poems and Prose: Inch
Inch is a quarterly magazine devoted to tiny poems and tiny prose, and we're looking for great work for our upcoming issues. We believe that good things come in small packages, so we focus our eight pages on poems of one to nine lines, or fiction of 750 words or less. Don't send us a few good lines or paragraphs-- send us complete poems and stories that bite, resonate, or sleep with giants. We've published work by acclaimed authors, such as Betty Adcock, Michael McFee, Michael Chitwood, and Aimee Nezhukumatathil, but we are equally committed to publishing the work of emerging authors.
Prose is limited to 750 words or fewer. Submit one to three stories for consideration. Include a cover letter. Simultaneous submissions for prose are acceptable, but please note in your cover letter if your story is submitted elsewhere.
We are looking for smart, complete poems one to nine lines in length. Submit one to five poems with a cover letter. You may include more than one poem per page provided that you insert ample space in between. We don't accept simultaneous submissions for poetry.We do not accept previously published work or simultaneous submissions.
All rights revert to the author upon publication, though we will occasionally ask if we may reprint poems in our double-sized spectacular issues. Pays three copies.
See our website for information.
