Scribendi, a literary magazine with a national footprint, issues an open call for creative nonfiction that spans memoir, personal essay, lyrical essay, literary journalism, and travel writing. The journal's definition is capacious: fact-based prose that braids scene, reflection, and exposition, typically anchored in lived experience. This is not a themed issue; the curatorial impulse is toward work that demonstrates formal control and emotional precision within the nonfiction contract. The submission process is rigorously blind. Your name must appear only in the designated "Name" field of the application form—not in the manuscript, not in the title field, not in headers or footers. Works without titles are ineligible. The magazine accepts one title work per submission, capped at 5,000 words, formatted in 12-point Times New Roman and uploaded as a Microsoft Word document. There is no entry fee, and the prize is publication itself. What the journal offers is editorial attention rather than monetary reward: a blind jury reads every conforming submission, and accepted pieces enter a curated print or digital issue. The absence of a fee and the strict anonymity signal a commitment to meritocratic reading. For writers, the opportunity lies in reaching a readership that values the essay as a serious form, without the distractions of branding or self-promotion.
