Happy fall, y’all! We’re kicking off the season with a brand new list, and are really excited to kick off said brand new list with Daniel de Carvalho’s stunning piece, “Policromia 10”! Be sure check out his website and Instagram for paintings, silkscreens, photography and more. Also, for those who read Portuguese, or or want to see his work in the context of specific projects, he has two free books showcasing his work online: O Corpo Árvore (The Tree Body), featuring his paintings, and Polaroide, Policromia, Ponto (Polaroid, Polychromy, Point), featuring silkscreen work (including this list’s featured image!). Scroll down to where it says “TCC Pintura” and enjoy!
If you would like 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.
