Call for Submissions: Hobart, Another Literary Journal

Hobart, Another Literary Journal

Fiction

Submit only one story at time, not more than 2,000 words (but shorter than this has a better chance, to be honest). If you're submitting short shorts (around 400 words or less), you can submit up to three stories in a single file. Multiple submissions will be deleted unread.

Nonfiction

Note that we tend to like our nonfiction to be more about something and less "short memoir"-y pieces, if that makes any sense. If we think of a better way to explain that, we'll update this description.

Word count limit isn't super strict but is somewhere around 2500, with 500-2k being our real website sweet spot.

Poetry

We want poetry from the margins, words that open new space without closing off recurring possibilities. There's no one type of poem that we prefer of the other, although we're often interested in poetry that doesn't necessarily know it's poetry. We are looking to be moved by the beauty in what is common.

Send us 3 to 5ish previously unpublished poems in a single document along with a brief cover letter.  

Photo Essays

We're seeking submissions of photo portfolios for online publication. We aim to showcase work by both emerging and established photographers. Our aesthetic preferences range from documentary/fine art/street photography to surrealist work, but we are open to any genre so long as the pictures reflect the unique voices of their creators.

Submissions should include the following:

  • project title
  • 12-20 images on any theme from a single body of work
  • a 100-word project/work statement (written in the third person) 
  • a 50-word bio
  • a link to your website

Upload 72dpi JPEGs, sized a maximum of 1200 pixels on the longest side. Label the images: 01_LastNameFirstName.jpg. 


Submissions will be accepted on an ongoing basis.
