For this spring edition of Where to Submit, we’re excited to be featuring “lossy flesh (3)” by Leena Joshi. For more of their artwork, as well as videos and poems, visit their website and Vimeo.
If you are an editor or publisher and would like your journal, press, or literary organization to be included on the next Where to Submit list, please email Small Press Editor Justin Greene (justingreene@entropymag.org) with a formatted call. For templates of formatted calls, as well as information concerning how the list is put together, we’d love for you to take a look at our “A Few Notes on Where to Submit” post.
The Where to Submit list is a community space, just like all of Entropy. Our primary goal is to help connect writers with small presses, journals, and other literary opportunities. Inclusivity and equity are imperative to us and, in this list, we’re committed to making space for a significant breadth of voices, platforms, and organizations invested in literature and its numerous capacities. However, we are also committed to keeping the list a focused resource, one that best serves our readership and reflects our mission of maintaining a safe and supportive community of readers and writers. This means that we may not choose to feature every submissions depending on the aesthetic, genre, guidelines, scope, mission, or focus of your organization.
