Call for Submissions of Graphic Works/Graphic Narratives: The Account: A Journal of Poetry, Prose, and Thought

The Account: A Jour­nal of Poetry, Prose, and Thought is read­ing sub­mis­sions for a spe­cial Spring ’15 issue: “Graphic Works/Graphic Nar­ra­tives.” We’re seek­ing graphic nar­ra­tives, illu­mi­nated man­u­scripts, rebuses, illus­tra­tions evoca­tive of sto­ries, and poems that inter­act with the page as a visual land­scape (such as con­crete poems, era­sures, and prose poems). Please sub­mit work via Sub­mit­table by March 15th for con­sid­er­a­tion. The Account does not have a read­ing fee. How­ever, we do require work to be paired with an “account” (of 150–500 words) that describes the thought, influ­ences, and choices that make up your aes­thetic as it per­tains to the spe­cific work you send us. 

account = his­tory, sketch, marker, repos­i­tory of influences

An account of a spe­cific work traces its arc—through texts and world—while giv­ing voice to the artist’s approach. We ask that if you choose to be satir­i­cal, you do so in ser­vice of the work you are sub­mit­ting. We are most inter­ested in how you are track­ing the thought, influ­ences, and choices that make up your aes­thetic as it per­tains to a spe­cific work.

Please use Submittable to submit. We will not consider work without an account. We do read simul­ta­ne­ous submissions.

You may still sub­mit work under one of our gen­eral cat­e­gories for a later issue.

Gen­eral Information

Please review The Account: A Jour­nal of Poetry, Prose, and Thought sub­mis­sion guide­lines for poetry, fiction, and nonfiction.

Crit­i­cism oper­ates on a solicitation-only basis.
