Welcome to the latest edition of Entropy‘s Where to Submit list! The artwork featured at the top of this list is “dancing in one spot (number 12)” by Ashon Crawley, Associate Professor of Religious Studies and African American and African Studies at University of Virginia and author of the books Blackpentecostal Breath: The Aesthetics of Possibility (Fordham University Press, 2016) and The Lonely Letters (Duke University Press, 2020). Crawley’s work is multidisciplinary and -modal, utilizing textual, audiovisual, and choreosonic practices to imagine what he terms “otherwise worlds of possibility.” For more, be sure to check out his website.
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.
