Call for Submissions on Theme of Prohibition: NonBinary Review

NonBinary Review is a quarterly digital literary journal that joins poetry, fiction, essays, and art around each issue's theme. We invite  authors to explore each theme in any way that speaks to them: re-write a  familiar story from a new point of view, mash genres together, give us a personal essay about some aspect of our theme that has haunted you all  your life. We also invite art that will accompany the literature. All submissions must have a clear and obvious relationship to our theme. Submissions with no clear relationship to the theme will be rejected. Although you may submit more than once, we can only accept ONE piece per author/artist per issue.

We are open to submissions which relate to the idea of PROHIBITION.  

We know — the United States during Prohibition, which lasted from January 17, 1920 through December 5, 1933, was tough. We've heard all the stories about the bootleggers and the rum runners and the speakeasies. We've read all about Carrie Nation, the American Temperance Union, and Eliot Ness. We'd like to see what else you've got. Have you got a story about what life would look like if orange juice had been prohibited, rather than alcohol? How about a story of someone from another country coming to the US during Prohibition? How about a story about things that were invented during Prohibition specifically because alcohol wasn't available? We'd LOVE to see those! 

Deadline: Aug 1, 2021
