Dear overlooked, misunderstood, or silenced writers,
Arkana , the journal of mysteries and marginalized voices published by the Arkansas Writers’ MFA Program, is now reading for its fourth issue! Please send us your fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, illustrated narrative, short scripts (for the stage or screen), translations, 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. We’re especially looking for work by historically marginalized writers, such as writers of color, writers in the LBGTQ community, and writers with disabilities.
So if you feel like we just described you or your writing, we want to hear from you! 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 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.
For more information, check out our submission guidelines here.
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.
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
