Contingent, an online magazine, is currently accepting submissions for its POSTCARDS series. This ongoing call seeks essays that engage with the postcard as a form, a mode of correspondence, or a point of departure for broader reflections. The series is open to a range of nonfiction approaches, from personal narrative to cultural criticism, provided the work is original and previously unpublished. As a no-fee, rolling submission opportunity, POSTCARDS offers writers the chance to place work without the pressure of a deadline or financial barrier. Accepted pieces will be published online, reaching Contingent's readership. The magazine's editorial focus values clarity, intellectual rigor, and a distinctive voice. While the series title suggests a thematic anchor, the editors encourage interpretations that expand the concept rather than merely illustrate it. Contingent's platform is designed for writing that is both accessible and nuanced, appealing to readers who appreciate essays that bridge the personal and the critical. The POSTCARDS series continues this tradition, inviting submissions that are considered, well-crafted, and resonant. Writers are encouraged to review previous publications to understand the magazine's tone and scope before submitting.
