We’re so happy to share “They all went running after the blockade” by Emma Zurer as the featured artwork for our fall list. Be sure to check out her stunning collage from our October + November 2016 list, as well as the collages and performances on her website.
If you would like to be included on the next Where to Submit list, please email Small Press Editor Justin Greene (justingreene@entropymag.org). In order to streamline the process and make it more transparent, we’ve written a set of guidelines below, which will be included with each forthcoming iteration of the list:
1) In your email, please send a formatted listing, e.g. the way your call would be featured on the list itself. This saves us time and ensures the accuracy of your information. For journals with multiple listings — say, a regular call for submissions and one for a contest or folio — please send us a formatted listing for each call.
2) Updates to the current list are not possible. Sorry! That being said, if we’ve made a mistake in your listing, please reach out to us and we’ll fix things accordingly.
3) Please try to email as early as you can with your formatted call. Similar to the first item, doing so will ensure your information appears accurately, as we’ll have things ready to go before the last-minute influx of requests.
4) For the next list, since we’ll have completed the process of changing editors, please email Justin with your call, even if nothing has changed in it. Having new email threads will make future edits to opportunities easier to implement. Additionally, should you email for each list, you’ll guarantee that the most up-to-date information goes up. Also, say hi!
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.
Lastly, let’s give it up for Dennis James Sweeney, the original list-keeper and an overall amazing person. Thank you so much for all of your work, as well as the warmth and compassion you’ve brought to both this position and the larger literary community. We’re happy to say that he’ll still be on the Entropy team as a Small Press Editor focusing on interviews, but, as he steps out of this role, please take some time to show him some love.
