Inframince Journal: Creative Nonfiction

Overview
Inframince Journal is a new publication dedicated to creative nonfiction, and its founding issue takes fragmentation as its organizing principle. The call asks writers to consider fragmentation not merely as breakage but as a condition of instability, porosity, and asynchronous movement—where narratives become mutable and parts no longer cohere. The journal seeks work that pluralizes the term: fissure, oblique transformation, concealment and revelation, and the fractal logic by which a fragment gestures elsewhere and everywhere. This is a thematic invitation with a genuinely experimental bent, and the editors explicitly welcome interpretations that push against the literal. The journal operates online and remotely, with no geographic restriction stated. There is no submission fee, which removes a common barrier for writers at all stages. As a founding issue, the publication carries the particular charge of establishing a curatorial identity; contributors are not filling a slot in an established series but helping to define what Inframince Journal will be. The editors have not announced payment, prizes, or honoraria, so submitters should proceed with the understanding that this is a non-paying literary opportunity. What the journal offers is editorial attention to work that takes fragmentation seriously as both subject and method. The curatorial vision is literary and theoretical without being prescriptive. The call's language—'breach the edges,' 'spontaneous and mutable,' 'what is split in between'—suggests an appetite for essays that are formally inventive as well as thematically engaged. Writers working at the intersection of lyric essay, experimental nonfiction, and critical prose are likely to find a natural home here. The absence of a stated word count or formatting requirement in the provided materials means writers should consult the journal's full guidelines before submitting, but the thematic prompt itself is unusually rich and permissive.
