2007/8 Submissions Information
As of July1, 2007, we are considering work for ISSUE 3, with a planned pub. date of early 2008.
We are looking for poetry, prose (fiction + non-fiction), visual art, and whatever blurs the lines among these genres. Submission deadline is August 30, 2007.
We are interested in breaking down the barriers between traditional and experimental by ignoring them. As we said in the debut's introduction: regardless of genre or style, often the most intelligent pieces seem a little like travel, which means they require attention and you might get lost in them. We are also interested in inclusion and engagement and these goals transcend any one aesthetic. The first two issues will give you a sense of what we like, although we won't necessarily be repeating what we did there but building upon it.
We are also accepting queries regarding interviews in ISSUE 3. If you'd like us to consider an interview, or an idea for one, please e-mail a brief synopsis to editor@practicejournal.com. (Issue one interview was with Semezdin Mehmedinovic; issue two with Alec Finlay. Both included new work by the subjects.)
We pay a flat fee of $200, five copies of the issue in which your work appears, and fine loose-leaf tea. Rights revert to author/artist upon publication.
Please send work to editor@practicejournal.com. Include "submission" as first word in the subject line, followed by your name. Also include your last name in the title of the attached file. Send everything in just one file. (We like to publish a larger-than-average sampling of each contributor's work. Please keep this in mind when considering how much to submit. Roughly ten pages is a good place to start.)
Writers: please attach RTF or Word files. Only send work previously unpublished in English. (Translators, please provide information regarding permissions.)
Artists: please start with links to web sites showing your work.
