The Common is a literary magazine with a committed internationalist bent, and its translation submissions are considered for both print and online publication. This call is for translated poetry and prose, with a firm word limit of 10,000 words per submission. A submission consists of one prose piece, three short flash pieces, or five poems; anything beyond that will be discarded. The magazine maintains a strict policy against work translated or edited with AI, underscoring its investment in human linguistic craft and the translator's art. The submission process is deliberately constrained: one submission per genre until you hear back, and no identifying information on the manuscript itself. A cover letter must include the title, your name, email address, genre, word count, and information about the translation. Translators are expected to secure necessary permissions before submitting. There is a $3.00 fee, and the deadline is exact: December 2, 2026. What The Common offers is not a prize but a platform: publication in a magazine that takes translation seriously as a literary act. The curatorial vision favors work that moves between languages with precision and intent, and the magazine's dual print/online consideration means accepted translations reach both a durable readership and a digital one. The absence of identifying information on the submission signals a commitment to reading the work on its own terms, free from the distractions of biography or reputation.
