Before exploring this edition of the Where to Submit List, please consider donating to bail funds, a number of which can be found linked at the top of the previous list. Additionally, the MFA Program at McNeese State University has started a GoFundMe to help cover the costs of relocation, gas, food, and property replacement for students affected by Hurricane Laura. Please check that out as well.
For September, October, and November 2020 edition of Where to Submit, we’re elated to feature Caroline Matias’ gorgeous diptych As meninas, solitude. “Drawing,” she says, “is a form of expressing myself. I’m not good with words, so sketching is my way of expressing what I feel.” For more of her work, visit her blog and Instagram.
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.
