Call for International Submissions:
Toska Literary Journal Fall 2012 Issue
Deadline: 30 November 2012 (Winter issue)
(Note: Toska Magazine is committed to publishing new and emerging artists. As an online publication, artists need not be limited to a specific geographic area.)
TOSKA, a quarterly online literary journal showcasing the works of nonfiction writers and photographers, is looking for all genres of nonfiction including narrative nonfiction, flash nonfiction, biography, autobiography and memoir, experimental, political, historical, LGBT, and journalistic works, for its Fall 2012 issue.
We prefer pieces that range from 100 to 3,000 words, although we will consider longer works of exceptional quality. We are also seeking photography submissions from both amateur and professional photographers and are particularly interested in journalistic and documentary-style photography. We accept both single photographs and series of up to five images. We are an independent publication not affiliated with any academic institution or other organization, and we value high-quality writing and photography above all else.
