Call for Submissions: Arkana

Dear overlooked, misunderstood, or silenced writers,

Arkana, the journal of marginalized voices and mysteries published by the Arkansas Writers MFA Program, is now reading for its third issue! Pretty, pretty please send us your fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, illustrated narrative, scriptwriting, translation, artwork or whatever other mixed-genre strikes your fancy and you think will strike our fancy too.

We want work that reflects our mission: to seek and foster a sense of shared wonder by privileging art that asks questions, explores mystery, and works to discover and uncover the overlooked, the misunderstood, and the silent.

So if you feel like we just described your work, we want to hear from you! We are super groovy with literary diversity. We accept work from writers of all shapes and sizes, no matter their background, place of origin, or education/career level—we have published writers with fancy MFA degrees and writers still in high school, writers from our home base in Arkansas to writers from across the world. Plus, we nominate our writers’ work yearly for the Pushcart Prize and for other prizes, such as Best of the Net. We also include an audio feature on our website, so if you’re published, you’ll get a chance to literally have your voice heard.

If you’re interested in sending polished, mysterious, and wonderful work our way, then check out our submission guidelines.

And it doesn’t hurt to read through the journal for yourself, just to get a feel for what kind of stuff we’re into. Visit our website.

Still have questions? Shoot us an email at:

arkanamagATgmailDOTcom (Change AT to @ and DOT to . )

or look us up on Facebook or Twitter, @ArkanaMag.

We can’t wait to read your work!

All best,
The Editors
