Call for Submissions:

Warscapes Literary Magazine (worldwide)

Bhakti Shringarpure and Michael Bronner, the Editors of Warscapes, have recently sent us a letter introducing their literary magazine and to invite our followers to submit works. Read below:

We would like to introduce you and your program to Warscapes– an online magazine providing a lens into current conflicts across the world via literature, literary reportage, art and image. We are issuing a new call for fiction and non-fiction submissions, and hope you will spread the word. We are particularly excited about Writers Afrika, and the opportunities this website creates for the acknowledgment of African writers.

Warscapes provides a highly professional and beautifully curated space for writers from all over the world to publish fiction, non-fiction, analysis and perspectives that are missing in mainstream publishing. Meanwhile, it offers readers a tool for understanding complex political crises in various regions. The great writing in Warscapes is cross-pollinated with art and photo-essays, with a synergistic and more deeply-penetrating effect.

The project has taken off since our launch in November 2011. Even though we do not presently reimburse contributors, the magazine has garnered attention from top tier editors and agents in the publishing world. We've now been read in 178 countries with excellent web traffic, and published work from some 50 hot and cold conflicts worldwide. With Advisory Board members like Nuruddin Farrah, Shashi Tharoor, Dinaw Mengestu, Zia Jaffrey, and Anne Nivat, to name a few. Warscapes operates as a not-for-profit through fiscal sponsorship from the New Venture Fund in Washington, DC.

We hope you will visit the site and see some of the work we've had the privilege of including. And please send submissions!

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:

We welcome any piece of writing, graphic work or photo art that you might consider relevant to Warscapes. We are happy to facilitate a translation of your submission. There are no word length specifications at this time. We do not compensate contributors at the moment.

If you wish to Review for us, please write to us with a sample of previous work and we will send you a list of books or films to choose from.

If you wish to Translate for us, please send us your resume along with a sample of previous work. All languages welcome.

All text submissions must be in Microsoft word and sent as an attachment.

If you wish to submit an Image for our monthly cover, send us the final version as a high-resolution tif or jpeg file.

Please attach a short biography with your submission.

Please note that we aim to promote writing and art that emerges from regions that have low or no attention within the mainstream media.
