Call for Submissions: Arroyo Literary Review
Arroyo Literary Review is a print-based publication produced annually by
students and alumni of California State University, East Bay. Each
issue reflects the creative diversity found in the San Francisco Bay
Area literary scene, while bringing together material from an
international array of poets, writers, and artists.
Arroyo began with an investigation: faculty and students sought to establish a magazine capturing the spirit and diverse voices of the Bay Area while attracting writers from across the country and a national readership. What they discovered, however, was a void. Bigger presses seemed to ignore the dynamics of California culture, while smaller presses had predicated themselves on niches. With the opportunity presenting itself, those same students built the school’s first literary magazine from the ground up, eventually releasing the premiere issue in Spring of 2009.
Since then, that tradition of motivation and commitment has been passed on to each proceeding incarnation of the review. The editorial staff remains dedicated to showcasing both new and established writers from the West Coast and beyond, hoping to connect the magazine’s audience with the unique qualities that make the Bay Area literary and art scene so special.
We are seeking fiction, flash fiction, poetry, essays, and translation for our sixth issue.
Open reading period from December 1 to May 31. No e-mail submissions. Please see our website for submission guidelines.

Call for Submissions:
Just the Surface: An Anthology of Mermaid Poetry
How does the modern mermaid exist in our cultures today? Who is she? How does she function and thrive in a contemporary world? What are her concerns; in what escapades does she busy herself with today? Where and who does she find mischief in now? Who are the world’s mermaids now?
This collection will see where she lives, in poems, today; however, these poems do not have to completely center on the mermaid but could suggest her, mention her, and, at the very least, bring her into question within the poem. This anthology is seeking quality poems of a truly unique and speculating nature. Poetry of a fantasy genre is not the goal of this project and we ask that you do not submit if that is your particular style.
If your poem is selected you will receive a contributor’s copy.
Please send a brief bio along with poems.
Submit 3-5 poems.
Please include your contact information on each poem.
Please send your poems to:
just.the.surface(at)gmail.com (Replace (at) with @.)
Deadline is February 25th.

CALL FOR POETRY Reading Series
Theme: PUBLIC/PRIVATE:
For Woman Made Gallery Literary Series
Event Date: Sunday, February 3 from 1:30 – 3:30 p.m.
Location: 685 N Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago IL
Submission Deadline: December 22, 2012
Public/Private
“From the exploding popularity of reality television and celebrity culture to the U.S. government’s ever-growing presence in our homes, schools, and community spaces through Patriot Act-sanctioned surveillance, the twenty-first century has seen enormous shifts in cultural and political conceptions of what is considered private and what is considered public, both in the United States and world-wide. We as individuals are losing control over what is seen and what is unseen; known and unknown; public and private. How do these shifts manifest in our daily lives? Who is most affected and why? How do artists address these changes, whether through illuminating, embracing or actively working against them?”
All takes on this theme are fair game for this reading. Send your best.
Selected poets must be available to read in person. Please send 4 – 6 poems on the theme ALONG WITH a 50 to 75 word bio* IN THE BODY OF AN E-MAIL to:
gallery(at)womanmade.org (replace (at) with @ when sending email) by Saturday, Dec 22, 2012. We will make every effort to inform those chosen of our decision by January 5, 2012.
Although we can't afford to pay readers, this is a great opportunity to sell books, read with other talented people and, since we've developed a partnership for the gallery with WBEZ's Chicago Amplified, to have your reading archived for future listening (a really great publicity feature).
If you are not selected, please understand that we are volunteers programming to meet several criteria as best possible, representing the best of a diversity of themes, cultures, styles etc. To that end, we will review the first 20 submissions sent to us, looking further only as needed to reach these ends.

Call for Submissions: Technoculture: The Retro Issue
Technoculture is an independent annual peer-reviewed
journal. Publishing both critical and creative works that explore the
ways in which technology impacts this (or any) society, with a broad
definition of technology.
We seek creative works that use new media and/or are on the subject of technology, and essays from a broad a range of academic disciplines that focus on cultural studies of technology. Essays we publish examine the topic “technology and society,” or, perhaps,“technologies and societies.”
For Volume 3 (2013), The Retro Issue, we are particularly seeking essays and creative works that focus on lost, ancient, old or dead technologies, technologies that no one uses, or very few people still employ. Topics could include depictions of technologies that treat a wide range of subjects related to the social sciences and humanities. These subjects might include:
--technologies once popular that are no longer used, such as 8-track tape
--film and television as technologies (especially in the early days of television and film)
--celebrities' use of technology in a given historical moment, such as the early days of television or the heyday of radio
--politics and technology, especially historical approaches
--music production and dissemination, especially historical approaches (such as Listz' transcriptions of entire Wagner operas and Beethoven symphonies)
--visual artists and their use of (or flight from) given technologies, especially historical approaches
--literary depictions of technologies (especially in works from other decades than our own)
--computer/video gaming (older games, rather than newer games)
--the dissemination of the arts via technology to broad or to specialized audiences in particular historical moments
--the disappearance of a given technology or technologies and what that disappearance/disappearances means/mean for the archival issues that surround the humanities.
--sports and sports figures of the past
--memorabilia and collectibles from the past
In particular, we are interested in a conception of “technology” and the “humanist impulse” that pushes beyond contemporary American culture and its fascination with computers; we seek papers that deal with any technology or technologies in any number of historical periods from any relevant theoretical perspective with a particular focus on old, dead and lost technologies for this issue.
We are not interested in “how to” pedagogical papers that deal with the use of technology in the classroom.
We will publish scholarly/critical papers in the latest MLA citation style, but also creative works including poetry and creative non-fiction are of interest to us. We will publish art work and especially media designed for display/dissemination on a computer monitor including still images, video or audio.
Technoculture is published continuously; we accept submissions for Volume 3 (2013) between 1 September 2012 and 31 August 2013. Authors of all materials are welcome to submit abstracts and inquiries for critical works, creative works and reviews.

For Volume 3 (2013), The Retro Issue, we are particularly seeking essays and creative works that focus on lost, ancient, old or dead technologies, technologies that no one uses, or very few people still employ. Topics could include depictions of technologies that treat a wide range of subjects related to the social sciences and humanities. These subjects might include:
--technologies once popular that are no longer used, such as 8-track tape
--film and television as technologies (especially in the early days of television and film)
--celebrities' use of technology in a given historical moment, such as the early days of television or the heyday of radio
--politics and technology, especially historical approaches
--music production and dissemination, especially historical approaches (such as Listz' transcriptions of entire Wagner operas and Beethoven symphonies)
--visual artists and their use of (or flight from) given technologies, especially historical approaches
--literary depictions of technologies (especially in works from other decades than our own)
--computer/video gaming (older games, rather than newer games)
--the dissemination of the arts via technology to broad or to specialized audiences in particular historical moments
--the disappearance of a given technology or technologies and what that disappearance/disappearances means/mean for the archival issues that surround the humanities.
--sports and sports figures of the past
--memorabilia and collectibles from the past
In particular, we are interested in a conception of “technology” and the “humanist impulse” that pushes beyond contemporary American culture and its fascination with computers; we seek papers that deal with any technology or technologies in any number of historical periods from any relevant theoretical perspective with a particular focus on old, dead and lost technologies for this issue.
We are not interested in “how to” pedagogical papers that deal with the use of technology in the classroom.
We will publish scholarly/critical papers in the latest MLA citation style, but also creative works including poetry and creative non-fiction are of interest to us. We will publish art work and especially media designed for display/dissemination on a computer monitor including still images, video or audio.
Technoculture is published continuously; we accept submissions for Volume 3 (2013) between 1 September 2012 and 31 August 2013. Authors of all materials are welcome to submit abstracts and inquiries for critical works, creative works and reviews.
