Open: Journal of Arts & Letters positions itself at the intersection of literary and theatrical practice, seeking dramatic works whose effects are legible both in reading and in production. This dual orientation—page or stage—signals a curatorial interest in language that carries performative weight and in structure that survives the transition from script to reader. The journal does not privilege one mode over the other; it asks instead that the work be complete in either register. The submission parameters are precise. Up to 5,000 lines may be submitted, provided the file includes title, byline, dramatis personae, and stage direction. The journal accepts three formatting conventions: those published by Gordon State College, those suggested by The Dramatists Guild, or the native formats of specialized software such as Final Draft or Movie Magic. Deviations of magnitude from these conventions will be declined. There is no fee to submit. What the journal offers is publication within a literary arts and letters context, not a production or a prize. The cover letter requirements—a header, a logline of up to thirty words, a synopsis of up to 150 words without spoilers, and a third-person professional biography of roughly 100 words—indicate a editorial process that values clarity of intention and professional presentation. The journal's vision is one of discernment: it seeks drama that can be read with the same attention given to poetry or fiction, and staged with the same attention given to the theatrical event.
