Call for Submissions on Theme of the Eye: ArabLit Quarterly

ArabLit Quarterly is a literary journal -- print and e-pub -- with a focus on edge-breaking Arabic literature & art in translation. For our next issue, we are looking for eye-themed writing, which means: the eye, the evil eye, the gaze, عين, surveillance, attention, and more. Regular ALQ features include: #TranslateThis, Open Letter to a Late Author, Literary Playlist, Judge a Book By Its Cover, & Literary Maps. We are also interested in: Translated short stories between 100 and 10000 words; translated poetry; translated playtexts; translated comix; creative work that shifts between states. We are not able to accept: Fiction and poetry written originally in English.

We prefer pitches to completed works; pitches should be in by October 15, with drafts submitted by November 1, and authors available to work on edits in the month of November.
