Vincent Brothers Publishing — The Vincent Brothers Review asks WHERE ARE YOU NOW?

Overview
Vincent Brothers Publishing, through its literary magazine The Vincent Brothers Review, issues a call for work that interrogates the theme 'Where Are You Now?' The prompt is framed by editor Carson McCullers's observation on the tension between nostalgia for the familiar and the urge for the foreign and strange, and by the editor's own account of personal and national crises—flood, caregiving, aging, political violence—that have tested the capacity for creative work. The magazine seeks writing and art that emerges from such conditions, not despite them but through them. The call is open to all disciplines, with no restriction on genre or medium. This is not a themed contest with a prize, but a curated editorial opportunity: selected work will be published in The Vincent Brothers Review. The submission fee is $3.00 (300 cents USD), a modest barrier that supports the magazine's operations. The deadline is January 1, 2029. The curatorial vision is rooted in the belief that survival and sanity require creativity, and that art made under duress—whether from revolution, displacement, or the slow erosions of time—deserves a platform. The editor's statement is unusually candid about the conditions of production, suggesting an openness to work that is raw, urgent, and unafraid of the personal or the political.
