West Coast
Overview
This opportunity originates from a West Coast-based publication with a broad disciplinary reach, inviting poetry, fiction, nonfiction, essay, flash fiction, translation, photography, film, music, visual art, digital art, and hybrid work. The call is open globally and carries no submission fee, a rarity in contemporary literary and arts publishing that signals a commitment to access rather than gatekeeping. The magazine's profile suggests a curatorial interest in work that traverses traditional boundaries—text that behaves like image, image that carries narrative, sound that operates as language. While the exact deadline and submission guidelines are not specified in the available information, the absence of a fee and the breadth of accepted genres indicate an editorial stance that prioritizes the work itself over institutional credentials or geographic proximity. The publication's West Coast identity may inform an aesthetic sensibility—expansive, formally restless, and attentive to the intersections of landscape, technology, and narrative—but the call is explicitly global in scope. Artists and writers selected for publication can expect to join a roster that values cross-disciplinary conversation. The magazine's inclusion of film, music, and digital art alongside traditional literary forms suggests that successful submissions will be those that understand their medium while remaining porous to the influence of others. This is not a call for specialization but for work that knows its own edges and pushes against them.
