Online journal seeks submissions of poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction
© Patrick Nijhuis
Conte, an online journal of narrative writing, has announced an open call for poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction for its 11th issue. They welcome submissions from emerging writers as well as established voices.
Conte aims to promote the art of telling stories, and was founded on the belief that real narrative, in both prose and poetry, is often the best vehicle for communicating feelings, ideas, and experiences in a way readers can truly internalise. The editors aim to keep Conte unique by offering captivatingly fresh revelations through storytelling, penned by authors who share their love of a good yarn.
Adam Tavel, Poetry Editor, offers the following advice to writers considering making a submission: “I can boil it down to two basic guidelines: 1) Never send your work to a journal you haven’t read. Ever. If it’s a print journal, purchase a copy from an independent bookstore, borrow an issue from a fellow writer, or spend a few hours getting acquainted in a local library. If the publication is freely available online, then you have no excuse for not reading it through.
2) If you decide to submit your work to a publication, follow their rules. Some journals don’t accept simultaneous submissions; some journals only read during the academic year; some journals don’t want a cover letter; some journals are picky about formatting, and even want poems double-spaced. Disregarding submission guidelines is the quickest path to rejection, and believe me-not all slush piles are created equal!”
The deadline is July 1st. For submission guidelines and past issues, please visit www.conteonline.net
