Oyster River Pages is thrilled to accept submissions of fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and visual art for its third annual issue (August 2019) AND for our special issue (May 2019) on the theme of "Delta."
In the Greek alphabet, the letter Delta is represented by Δ. River deltas get their name based on their resemblance to this character. Δ is also the mathematical symbol for change. At Oyster River Pages, we know the value of deltas—those liminal spaces where land stops water and water eats land, where rivers find their journey’s end and new beginnings, where life as we know it ceases and is ever reborn in countless limitless, shapeless forms. We invite you to dig deep into the silt of the deltas you know. Send us your narratives and art of change and transformation, of expansion and unification, of re-formation and re-creation.
Submissions for “Delta” will be accepted through March 31, and submissions for the unthemed annual issue will be accepted through May 31.
We are also excited to launch our Emerging Voices initiative, a program for fiction writers who have fewer than two publications. For our third annual issue, ORP aims to publish up to five emerging fiction writers (and two in our special issue) who submit in the Emerging Voices category. Writers will work closely with ORP to polish their pieces for publication. Everyone who submits to Emerging Voices will receive at least one or two lines of constructive feedback with the intent of strengthening your pieces.
