Aquarius Press is currently accepting general submissions until September 1 for the 2011 annual issue of Reverie. In addition, we will dedicate a section of the issue to works addressing the following theme: Revisiting Injustice. We are looking for works that revisit sociopolitical issues affecting the African American community often overlooked or minimally covered by national media outlets. In your cover letter, please clearly note any works submitted for this themed section.
Reverie is an annual publication devoted to featuring great literature and is open to African Americans with “ties” to the Midwest. Reverie will appear in print and online editions. We are a literary journal that publishes poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction. We will also accept book reviews as well. We currently pay in one print contributor’s copy of the journal. Writers selected for inclusion will be featured on our website.
For the upcoming issue “Revisiting Injustice,” we will consider essays, personal accounts and/or testimonies as well, but they must be objective and in the creative nonfiction style.
