Call for Submissions: Conclave

The literary journal Conclave is accepting submissions for its forthcoming issue with the theme, "Justifying the Margins.."

We live in a world filled with change, a world only beginning to understand the need to respect others, all others. Equality and respect should come hand-in-hand. In the literary world, we embrace work that doesn't conform to expectations, conventions, or old-school definitions--that justifies the margins, until all sense of marginalization has disappeared.

In this issue, we hope to publish a wide range of voices, genre-bending work that challenges expectations, focused on originality and emphasizing the need for universal respect. The common thread should be innovation and an embrace of the full spectrum of human experience. Whatever your sex, race, orientation, religion, country of origin—send us your work. We want to read it. Help us see what has not been seen before.
