Call for Submissions on Theme of "Outliers": Conclave

Conclave has decided to expand the size of the next issue, "Outliers" so we're able to accept even more submissions than in the past. Here's a description of what we want:
 
The world is changing at a speed unprecedented in human history. Inevitably, some people find themselves outside the mainstream, living on the fringes, isolated by one factor or another. A world of complexity and change highlights the need to understand and write about the outliers, embracing rather than deploring the differences between us.
 
In this issue, we hope to publish a wide range of outliers, genre-bending work that challenges expectations, focused on originality and emphasizing the need for universal respect. The common thread should be compassion, tolerance, and empathy for 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.
 
Send your submissions here. 
 
Format and Length. Poetry: Submit 1-3 original, unpublished poems, in a single document, each poem on a separate page, no longer than 10 pages total. Short Fiction: Submit 1 story, no longer than 5000 words. Creative Nonfiction: Submit one work, no longer than 5000 words. Unclassifiable: No longer than 2000 words
 
Deadline: Nov. 16, 2019
