The Common is a literary magazine that publishes poetry and prose with a strong sense of place and cultural specificity. This call is for translations, a category that demands both linguistic precision and an ear for the original's cadence. The magazine's commitment to translation is part of its broader editorial vision: to bring voices from around the world into conversation with English-language readers. Translations accepted will appear in either the print edition or the online journal, both of which share the same editorial standards and reach. Submissions must adhere to strict guidelines: a maximum of 10,000 words, with longer submissions automatically withdrawn. A single submission may consist of one prose piece, three short flash pieces, or five poems. Anything beyond these limits will be discarded. The magazine asks for only one submission per genre until a response is received, a policy that respects both the editors' time and the contributor's. The cover letter should include the title, the translator's name, email address, genre, word count, and information about the translation. Crucially, no identifying information should appear on the submission itself, ensuring a fair and anonymous reading process. The Common does not charge for publication, but a $3 fee is required to submit, a common practice that helps sustain the magazine's operations. Translators are responsible for securing necessary permissions before submission. The magazine's editorial team reads with an eye for work that is both artful and urgent, and translations that illuminate the original's cultural and linguistic context are especially welcome. This is not a contest; it is a call for work that will stand alongside the magazine's other offerings in print and online.
