Hello writers! Here’s another round of submissions opportunities. If you would like your press/mag/etc. to be added to the October/November “Where to Submit” post, please email Dennis James Sweeney at dennis@entropymag.org. It helps if you can include a link to your submission guidelines and the information we include in all our listings: when submissions are open, what genres you accept, and whether writers must pay a fee to submit.
This month’s featured artwork is from Nazifa Islam, a poet and painter from Michigan now living in Oregon. “#87″ is 10″ by 8”, acrylic on stretched canvas. Of her paintings, Nazifa says:
I think of my paintings as surreal emotional landscapes informed by the connotations of color and movement. I strive for emotional clarity through the chaos of color and motion, to make the abstract and subconscious suddenly concrete and visible.
Submit wisely and as usual, we’re wishing you luck out there!
