They find a way to bend towards any speck of light they can find. It doesn't matter that they don't have the same liberty as other plants outside, they still find a way to exist and thrive. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you had to make the best out of what you had? Ever had to find a way through unfamiliar circumstances? Tell us your stories of conquering unknown territories, overcoming predicaments, and triumphing over your demons.
Tell us about how you found a way.

Hodder Fellowship
Princeton University
INFO: The Lewis Center is designed to put the creative and performing arts at the heart of the Princeton experience. This mission is based on the conviction that exposure to the arts helps each of us to make sense of our lives and the lives of our neighbors. We pursue this mission by bringing together a vibrantly diverse community of people with different backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, skills and talents.
The Hodder Fellowship will be given to artists of exceptional promise to pursue independent projects at Princeton University during the 2021-2022 academic year. Potential Hodder Fellows are composers, choreographers, performance artists, visual artists, writers or other kinds of artists or humanists who are selected more "for promise than for performance" and have "much more than ordinary intellectual and literary gifts" as traditionally defined. Given the strength of the applicant pool, most successful Fellows have published a first book or have similar achievements in their own fields; the Hodder is designed to provide Fellows with the "studious leisure" to undertake significant new work.
Hodder Fellows spend an academic year at Princeton, but no formal teaching is involved. An $84,000 stipend is provided for this 10-month appointment as a Visiting Fellow. Fellowships are not intended to fund work leading to an advanced degree. One need not be a U.S. citizen to apply. The Lewis Center is committed to fostering an academic environment that acknowledges and encourages diversity and differences. The successful candidate will pursue academic excellence in diverse, multicultural, and inclusive settings.
GUIDELINES: Writers please submit a resume, a 3,000-word writing sample of recent work, and a project proposal of 500 words.

GMR Vol. 31.2: Black Voices
Green Mountains Review
INFO: 2020 has been tough. We are wading through the grief and difficulty wrought by a pandemic and the long history of racism, classism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, able-ism, and many other -isms symptomatic of a profoundly unjust society. Recent protests build upon decades of movement building and offer Americans an honest, if uncomfortable, reckoning with our past and a radical way forward that values the sanctity of Black lives of all kinds.
We know that the work of writers and artists is always crucial at these turning points in history. In his posthumous New York Times Op-Ed, Congressman Lewis wrote to us, “You filled me with hope about the next chapter of the great American story when you used your power to make a difference in our society.” And the late, legendary Toni Morrison wrote, “Me and you, we got more yesterday than anybody. We need some kind of tomorrow.”
So, let us read and write and speak our way forward. Black folks, send us your writings. Send us your tomorrows. Send us your yesterdays. Offer us your accounts of this moment and of the past and your speculations about what the future might hold.
GMR Volume 31.2 will feature Black voices and be edited by Tara Betts, Naomi Jackson, and Keith S. Wilson. The content is yours. The form is open.
GUIDELINES: Please submit a cover letter and include up to 5 poems or up to 25 pages of prose.
DEADLINE: September 15, 2020

Winter/Spring 2021 Residency

We are currently accepting applications for residency sessions scheduled to take place during the winter and spring of 2021. Residents receive studio space, housing, all meals, and $1,000 stipend ($500 for 2-week residencies). Application for this program is open to anyone at any stage of their career, working in visual arts, writing, and related fields (i.e. audio, video, photography).
Applicants can choose from two options of 4-week long sessions or a 2-week long session in late March/ early April for their residency. Specific dates for these are:

THE TONI BEAUCHAMP PRIZE IN CRITICAL ART WRITING
Gulf Coast Magazine
INFO: Surveying the scope of critical art writing today, the board, advisory board, and editors of Gulf Coast recognize the significant lack of venues and support for young and mid-career writers working across the United States. The Toni Beauchamp Prize in Critical Art Writing seeks to address this lacuna by bringing exposure to writers who are dealing with the spirit of the age and unafraid to ask difficult questions.
The 2020 Beauchamp Prize will be judged by Franklin Sirmans, curator, writer, editor and director of PAMM.
Grounded in both scholarship and journalism, critical art writing occupies a specific niche. The best examples appeal to a diverse readership through an accessible approach and maintain a unique voice and literary excellence. The Beauchamp Prize will consider submissions of work that have been written (or published) within the last year. A variety of creative approaches and formats to writing on the visual arts are encouraged, and can include thematic essays, exhibition reviews, and scholarly essays.
Gulf Coast differs from many other literary journals in its commitment to exploring visual art and critical art writing. The journal has always featured portfolios by visual artists, along with short introductions from critics familiar with their work. In 2013, Gulf Coast merged with the art journal Art Lies, a quarterly publication based in Texas with a respected history of putting artists, curators, scholars, and critics in dialogue with their colleagues around the world. This partnership has driven the journal to significantly expand its contemporary art coverage and reach. Currently, Gulf Coast features sixteen full-color pages of visual art features and twenty-four pages of critical art writing in each issue.
Entries for the Toni Beauchamp Prize in Critical Art Writing should be a single piece of prose, written in English, not exceeding 1,500 words. We will accept submissions both via Submittable and via postal mail.
AWARD: There will be one first place prize of $3,000 dollars, and two runners up, awarded $1,000 each. The winning essay will be featured in CG's printed journal, and the two runners-up will have the option of publication as GC Online Exclusives. For previous winners, see the sidebar.
DEADLINE: September 15, 2020
Fall 2020 Call for Submission
A Gathering Together
INFO: A Gathering Together is a literary journal that resists the easy and often unsophisticated attempt to say profound things in the moment, without deep contemplation, or in the heat of discursive battle.
We primarily select works that speak to Mekhet--the Kemetic (Ancient Egyptian) term for resonating across time and space. This term is reserved for works that simultaneously transcend and address the moment they speak from, works that will last beyond the creator's last breath and still be relevant, or works that put the writer and reader in conversation with the intellectual thought of Ancestors of all kinds.
Our writers are primarily descendants of Africa and her Diaspora. All writers whose works resonate with the human experience, and thus the Diasporic African experience, are considered. Our back issues are all available online and serve as a good model for the variety of writers and works we've featured.
We welcome submissions of previously unpublished essays, short stories, poetry, reviews, visual art, and film for our Fall 2020 issue. We have extended the current deadline for our fall issue to September 15th.
Artists who want to be featured in our upcoming issues are invited to send us a letter of interest, brief bio, and a sample portfolio. Writers who want to conduct artist interviews are welcome to send us pitches letting us know how the interview and artist would be a good fit for our journal. Features are generally published January-March or July-September.
A Gathering Together is unable to compensate writers at this time.
DEADLINE: Extended to September 15, 2020

Morland African Writing Scholarships 2020
Miles Morland Foundation
INFO: The Miles Morland Foundation is pleased to announce that the 2020 Morland Writing Scholarships for African writers will open for entries on Wednesday 1st July. The deadline for submissions is Friday 18th September. For all information on how to apply, please see the page marked ‘Entry Requirements and FAQs’ on our website (www.milesmorlandfoundation.com ).
Last year we received seven hundred submissions for four Scholarships, the highest number ever. We were blown away by the quality of writing and the unprecedented variety of the proposals. We look forward to seeing a similar spread of talent this year. We’ll be announcing our new winners in November.
This year we will be rotating the judges’ panel, so Otosirieze Obi-Young whose first-hand knowledge of African writing was so helpful last year will be dropping off to be replaced by Chuma Nwokolo, the Nigerian writer and publisher. Muthoni Garland, as chair, and Bibi Bakare-Yusuf return to complete the panel.
We would be grateful if you would help us by passing this information on to anyone you think might be interested, as well as announcing the opening dates on Facebook and Twitter using the link below. Thank you.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Points of Contact Anthology
Philippine Collegian
INFO: Contributions are now welcome for the latest literary anthology of the Philippine Collegian, Points of Contact.
The COVID-19 pandemic has hollowed out nearly all communal spaces. Most of us spend our waking hours at home, deprived of intimacy and companionship. The few times we venture outside are now governed by rules of social interaction and calculated navigation that, if violated, could lead to more dangerous consequences than at almost any other time. So, we retreat into isolation and, at the same time, brave bouts of dread and despair over woes that relentlessly fray our nerves and collective bonds.
The pandemic has indeed exacted a toll, both personal and political, with far-reaching repercussions which the Philippine Collegian continues to take stock of in our coronavirus coverage. Still, there remains so much unsaid about the situation that we wish to capture and acknowledge in a way that is not strictly reportorial. We believe that a literary anthology would, to some small measure, contribute to making sense of the one thing everyone has been struggling with amid lockdowns and roiling crises—distance.
This literary anthology hopes to be an examination as it is a challenge. We are interested in works that rethink distance from various perspectives. Distance, in this case, may reference proximity, geography, time, emotion, or the gaps we bridge and the spaces we map out to open up new trajectories.
Possibilities abound for what the future has in store. But it is yet hard to find a patch of firm ground at this moment of crisis, when, by our lonesome, we cannot act together with others and mobilize to the degree that we could have before the pandemic. Our distance from one another provides a fertile ground for inaction. Such is precisely the crack that we can see has been exploited to railroad policies, like the Anti-Terrorism Law, that are bound to shrink our spaces for dissent and fracture our communities even more rapidly than has so far been done already.
Now may not be a good time as any to problematize our circumstances as a literary project. But such is the task that writers and artists, in our rather privileged positions, must inevitably confront. We thus very much welcome contributions that do not shy away from rhetoric and polemics, the summons of ideology, the defiance of formal structures. We are on the lookout for pieces that provoke and unsettle.
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMISSION
1. The call for contributions is open to all Filipino writers and artists with works, in either Filipino or English, under any of the four categories: (a) short fiction, (b) poetry, (c) essay, and (d) graphic literature. Collaborative works are welcome, and so are pieces that blend together or experiment with genres, transgressing their normative boundaries.
2. All original and unpublished contributions to the literary anthology of the Collegian must be sent to phkule@gmail.com, cc: sheilaannabarra@gmail.com and rccornelio@up.edu.ph. The deadline is 20 September 2020, 11:59 p.m.; late entries will not be considered.
3. Only one submission per category will be accepted. But one may submit an entry in at most two categories. Simultaneous submissions are also allowed, but the Collegian must be notified immediately if the piece is slated for publication elsewhere.
4. For the subject heading of the email and the filename of the submission, kindly follow this format: <Kule Lit Antho 2020 surname_genre>, e.g., Kule Lit Antho 2020 Perez_Poetry. Email your submission as an attachment of the .docx file. Should one wish to keep typography or page design intact, as with some poetry or graphic literature pieces, a PNG and/or PDF file of the work must be submitted instead.
5. Entries for the prose categories must be single-spaced, typeface Segoe UI or Roboto, font size 11. Each submission must follow a 1,000-5,000-word count limit.
6. Entries for the poetry category may either be a standalone poem or a suite consisting of at most five (5) poems, in which case a collective title must be provided.
7. For graphic literature:
a. Entries for comics must be in portrait, and within a 6” x 8” size. It must be at least one (1) but not more than four (4) pages long.
b. Entries for photo essays may be up to 15 photos. There will be no limit imposed for aspect ratio, but the file size for each photo must not be beyond 5 mb, and the text must follow a 1,000-word count limit. The raw and edited file must be uploaded in a Google Drive folder. Collaboration of up to three people is allowed.
c. Entries for illustrations may either be in landscape or portrait, and should not be more than 6” x 8” in size. Important elements should be away from the 0.125-inch bleed.
8. Please do not include any author’s name or metadata within the pages of the file attachment. Instead, as an in-line text in the email, include a brief bionote of not more than 250 words, indicating institutional affiliation and professional email address.
9. In submitting an entry, one shall retain ownership of copyright of their work. But the Collegian shall have the right, upon consultation with the author, to edit portions of the work to suit the demands of publication.
10. An acknowledgement of receipt will be sent within a week of the submission. Please give the issue editors a response time of at least three months before inquiring about the status of one’s submission. The final table of contents of the anthology will have been released by the next couple of weeks.
If you have any questions, you may contact us through our email address: phkule@gmail.com, or message us through our social media accounts @phkule.

INFO: The Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers offers Fellowships to people whose work will benefit directly from access to the research collections at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street. Renowned for the extraordinary comprehensiveness of its collections, the Library is one of the world’s preeminent resources for study in anthropology, art, geography, history, languages and literature, philosophy, politics, popular culture, psychology, religion, sociology, sports, and urban studies.
The Cullman Center’s Selection Committee awards fifteen Fellowships a year to outstanding scholars and writers—academics, independent scholars, journalists, creative writers (novelists, playwrights, poets), translators, and visual artists. Foreign nationals conversant in English are welcome to apply. Candidates for the Fellowship will need to work primarily at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building rather than at other divisions of the Library. People seeking funding for research leading directly to a degree are not eligible.
The Cullman Center looks for top-quality writing. It aims to promote dynamic communication about literature and scholarship at the very highest level—within the Center, in public forums throughout the Library, and in the Fellows’ published work.
A Cullman Center Fellow receives a stipend of up to $75,000, the use of an office with a computer, and full access to the Library’s physical and electronic resources. Fellows work at the Center for the duration of the Fellowship term, which runs from September through May. Each Fellow gives a talk over lunch on his or her current work-in-progress to the other Fellows and to a wide range of invited guests, and may be asked to take part in other programs at The New York Public Library.

Submissions must relate to the theme of (Re)Formation, as interpreted by the author, using the following guiding questions (these will change for each theme):
What does it take to shape or form something? Ourselves? How do we sustain what we form? Why is it meaningful?
How do we know when reformation is necessary? Why is it necessary sometimes? What can we gain through such a transformation?
Can a personal (re)formation become a community act? How? Why might this be necessary at times?
Formation – an act of giving form or shape to something
Reformation – an act or process of reforming something
Creative nonfiction (1 submission per author per issue) must be between 500 and 5,000 words (if interested in submitting full-length manuscripts, please visit Publish With Us for further information).

Any exceptional projects will be considered for possible acquisition.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: CITIZENSHIP AND ITS DISCONTENTS
Anomaly

But, what about those for whom America was not their first choice, who ended up here because of war, persecution, colonization, adoption, migration, and displacement? If you have ever felt excluded, unwanted, or like you didn’t belong, if your Americanness has ever been challenged or denied, if you don’t fit neatly into a box on the Census… we want to hear from you.
Refugees, Dreamers, transnational adoptees, third culture kids, parachute kids, deportees, citizens of US territories overseas, descendants of enslaved people: Tell us your stories for a special folio of Anomaly.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Chopsticks Alley Pinoy
INFO: Chopsticks Alley Pinoy, in the spirit of kapwa (roughly translated as “being together”), is seeking submissions from our fellow Filipinx Americans.
In particular, we are interested in the notion of identity. What does it mean to be Filipinx American? You might or might not call the islands home. You might easily or uneasily call the United States home. We want to know what it feels, looks, and means to be Pin@y in the States. We want to know the layers of identity and how they intersect with our connection to the Philippines. We want to share the nuances of being in-between and the conflicts of choosing what is lost and losing what you don’t even know. Bring us your stories, long or short, prose or poetry.
A few guiding questions:
-How do you accept, perform, and/or deny your Filipinx identity?
-How does being Filipinx juxtapose your other identities and roles, e.g. LGBTQ+, being a mother, first/second/third generation?
-What does the Philippines stand for to you?
-How has (de)colonization changed your identity and/or understandings of self?
-Are there ways that stereotypes affect your life?
We are seeking fiction, poetry, and nonfiction submissions to share with our readers. Send submissions or questions/comments/inquiries to pinoychopsticksalley@gmail.com.
We cannot offer compensation but will provide feedback on all pieces submitted. Our co-Editor, Asela Lee Kemper, has a background in editing and reviewing poetry at various literary magazines including Marías at Sampaguitas with a BFA in Creative Writing. Co-Editor, Giannina Ong, brings previous experience with reviewing and editing nonfiction at her university literary magazine as well as a B.A. in English.
DEADLINE: September 30, 2020
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Power Clash
INFO: Power Clash is a digital publication dedicated to writing about the issues facing emerging artists and creative professionals today: intersectionality, representation, politics, and the personal side of making. We write for the people who are still finding their place, still grinding every day, and always imagining what’s next.
We look particularly favorably upon submissions that present unique perspectives on art and art-adjacent topics, pieces that are cross-disciplinary, and pieces that do not shy away from making politically-charged statements, discussing identity politics, or drawing connections between art topics and the current state of our world. We are actively seeking pieces that cover our blindspots, and we are prioritizing uplifting the works of BIPOC, womxn, non-binary, trans, & LGBTQIA+ writers and creators.
We are currently accepting writing submissions for the following categories:
Curatorial, Exhibition Reviews, Media Reviews, Editorial, Interviews, and Longform Essays.
Have an idea that fits one of these categories? Perfect! Keep reading. (We do not accept submissions for the Featured Artists and Pub Crawl sections of Power Clash.)
Have an idea that doesn’t quite fit any of these categories? Don’t worry! Keep reading to find out how to send us a pitch.
Transparency is important to us. Here are some important notes about how we review submissions.
1. We reserve the right to edit accepted submissions prior to publication.This means: we will edit for grammar and spelling, and fact check where applicable. We will never alter the style of your writing. Your voice is yours!
2. Cite your sources. If you include any quoted material, thoughts, or information that is not original to you, you need to cite your sources! We will not publish any writing that does not adhere to this rule. Plagiarism isn’t cute!
3. We will not publish any writing that is deemed to be exclusionary or offensive in any way. Period.
4. Please allow up to 2+ weeks for us to review your pitch. We assure you, reading your work is important to us! But, this is not our full time job. Thanks for your patience!
5. Adhering to submission guidelines does not guarantee publication. If we like your submission/pitch, we will reach out!
6. We cannot offer compensation to contributors at the current time. We hope for this to change in the future.
7. We cannot provide feedback for work we do not publish. We’re sorry!
Still here? Excellent! Click below to submit to us.
Pitches: If you have a unique idea for content that doesn’t really fit any of the existing categories (or maybe it does, but you haven’t written it yet), send us a pitch!
Pitches should be between 150-500 words. You’ll also be required to submit a writing sample of between 350-700 words, so we can gauge your writing style.

WRITERS & ARTIST RESIDENCY
Millay Colony for the Arts

Your work is presented anonymously to the jury and is considered solely on the merit of your artist statement and work sample. Please keep these factors in mind as you prepare your application. It is very important that you do not include your name anywhere on your artist statement or work samples as you may be disqualified if they are within the body of work shown to the jurors. Your application will instead be assigned a number by the administration.

Good Cop/Bad Cop: An Anthology
Flowersong Press
INFO: In 2010 police killed over a thousand people in the U.S. Black people are 3x more likely to be killed by police than white people. 99% of killings by police from 2013 – 2019 have not resulted in officers being charged with a crime.*The names of the murdered will not be forgotten. We call on poets, writers, and artists to submit work for an anthology that addresses the continuing problem of police violence in this country and around the world.
Our focus is on the people who are affected by this uncontrolled problem—the victims, the victims’ families, people of color, and a society that lives in fear of being shot and killed by those who are supposed to protect it.
We are looking for art, photography, essays, poetry, and other creative works to explore the racism, injustices and soul-killing aspects of this problem. We want artists to cry out in this anthology and demand justice. The anthology will be published by FlowerSong Press, an independent press dedicated to supporting writers of color and their allies.
Projected publication date: 2021. To submit, please send no more than 10 pages of creative work to info@flowersongpress.com with the subject line: Bad Cop/Good Copy Anthology
DEADLINE: October 1, 2020

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Rigorous
INFO: Rigorous is an online journal highlighting the works of authors, artists, critics, and educators of color. We take our name from an accusation commonly leveled at authors of color—that our works are not as rigorous as works created by white authors. We add our voices; we continue to prove otherwise.
We publish fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, visual art, sound art, audiovisual art and movies, cartoons, and any other artistic creations by people of color. We accept all genres, and have a particular affinity for science fiction, superheroes, and other “geek” genres. We enjoy work geared toward the Young Adult market, but we note that Rigorous will sometimes have content that is “Not Safe For Work.”
We seek essays on the personal experiences of people of color and interviews with interesting people of color. We seek critical analysis of art by people of color. We are especially interested in stories about and by educators of color, and the experience of teaching the works of people of color.
Rigorous is edited by Rosalyn Spencer and Kenyatta JP Garcia. Its next issue will be released around the end of October. If you’d like to submit, please do so through Submittable. If you are a white ally working on these issues, please consider our friends at Unlikely Stories and horse less press.
All submissions are handled through Submittable. Please submit up to 10 files, with a maximum of 3000 words.
Please include a cover letter with a brief bio (up to 100 words).
DEADLINE: October 5, 2020

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: NYT’s MODERN LOVE COLUMN
The New York Times
INFO: Although Modern Love has evolved into a podcast, a book, a TV show and Tiny Love Stories in its 16 years, the column’s central mission remains the same: to publish honest personal essays about contemporary relationships.
We seek true stories on finding love, losing love and trying to keep love alive. We welcome essays that explore subjects such as adoption, polyamory, technology, race and friendship — anything that could reasonably fit under the heading “Modern Love.” Ideally, essays should spring from some central dilemma you have faced. It is helpful, but not essential, for the situation to reflect what is happening in the world now.
The best way to see the range of styles and subjects we publish is to read the column and listen to the podcast. There’s a Google doc of tips from the editor that someone culled from the Modern Love Facebook page (some details are out of date, but nearly all of the advice is still generally applicable).
Love may be universal, but individual experiences can differ immensely and be informed by factors including race, socio-economic status, gender, disability status, nationality, sexuality, age, religion and culture. We especially encourage Black and Indigenous people and other people of color to submit, as well as writers outside of the United States and those who identify as members of L.G.B.T.Qcommunities.
How do I submit?
Send submissions to: modernlove@nytimes.com. Please put the subject of your essay or a possible title in the email subject line.
Limit your essay to 1,500-1,700 words.
Attach your essay as a Microsoft Word-compatible doc and paste the text into the body of the email. If your first submission is incomplete, please resubmit one complete entry; do not submit just the missing pieces in additional emails.
Essays must be entirely true. Do not use pseudonyms (including for yourself), composite characters or invented situations or scenes. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Essays must be previously unpublished. Work that has appeared online — on another news website, a personal blog, Medium or elsewhere — is considered previously published.
Essays will be edited in consultation with writers, and writers will be compensated for work that is published.
We attempt to respond to every submission within three or four months, though response times may vary because of the high volume of submissions. There is no need to follow up.
DEADLINE: Modern Love has two submission periods, September through December and March through June. We do not accept submissions in July, August, January or February. Submissions made during those months will be deleted unread. Please submit again when the inbox reopens.
