At carte blanche we believe there is more than one way to tell a story. Our mandate is to provide a venue for narrative of all forms from fiction and nonfiction, to poetry and photo essays.
carte blanche is published three times a year: in the winter, spring/summer, and fall.
How to submit
We are currently open for comics, photography, poetry, and translation submissions. We accept original, previously unpublished submissions through our online submission form ONLY.
Deadlines
Submissions for Issue 39 – Spring/Summer 2020 are open from 18 May to 1 July 2020. Get ready to send us your Poetry, Translations, Photography, and Comics.
Simultaneous submissions: We accept simultaneous submissions. Please indicate in your cover letter if you are sending your piece elsewhere and withdraw your submission via Submittable if it is accepted somewhere else.
Unpublished submissions: We do not accept submissions that have been previously published, including on personal websites and social media.
Rights: We ask for first world serial rights and the right to archive your work on the website. Copyright reverts to the author upon publication. In the case of translated pieces, you must already have received permissions from the original publisher to translate the piece prior to submitting your translation to us.
Payment: carte blanche pays a modest honorarium per submission. We hope to increase the amount in the future.
Theme
Our theme for Issue 39 is Anxiety.
Prior to COVID-19, worldwide climate anxiety was already on the rise, as well as anxiety relating to politics, mental health, poverty; this list could go on and on. With this new global pandemic affecting our daily lives, we are now living in a period of even greater anxiety than before. As artists in this precarious time, how does the concept of “anxiety” affect and resonate with you?
