InkSpark: Writing: non-fiction

Overview
InkSpark is a new magazine currently open for submissions of creative non-fiction, including personal narrative, memoir, review, and informative essay. For its first issue, the editors have chosen a deliberately expansive approach: any genre is welcome, provided the work engages with what the writer loves right now. This open call suggests a curatorial interest in authentic enthusiasm and personal investment, rather than adherence to a narrow thematic brief. The magazine accepts prose up to 2,500 words and imposes no submission fee. While not all submissions will be accepted, the editors commit to offering broad feedback—a rare and valuable gesture for a debut publication. This indicates a respect for the labor of writing and a desire to foster dialogue, even with those whose work is not selected. Given the absence of a fixed theme, the curatorial vision appears to prioritize clarity, editorial care, and genuine engagement. Writers are expected to submit work that has been edited for spelling, grammar, and clarity. The inaugural issue thus serves as a platform for voices that can articulate a current passion with precision and coherence, whether through memoir, criticism, or essayistic inquiry.
