Barely South Review, a literary magazine affiliated with Old Dominion University, opens a call for micro-nonfiction. The journal has a established reputation for publishing concise, resonant work that challenges formal boundaries. This opportunity is for writers working in the flash nonfiction mode—pieces that distill experience into its most essential language. The submission parameters are precise: up to three pieces, each under 500 words, formatted in 12-point Times New Roman, double-spaced, with one-inch margins. Word count must appear on the first page, paragraphs indented, and nonstandard formatting avoided. These requirements reflect a commitment to clarity and accessibility, ensuring that the work itself, not its presentation, commands attention. While no fee is required, the reward is publication in a respected venue known for its discerning editorial eye. The journal seeks work that is urgent, crafted, and emotionally precise—micro-nonfiction that earns its brevity through density of meaning. There is no cash prize; the compensation is the platform itself, and the audience it reaches.
