CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: TRANSLATIONS OF POEMS, DRAMA, ETC.
Circumference
DEADLINE: January 2, 2021
INFO: Circumference was founded in 2003 by Jennifer Kronovet and Stefania Heim as a journal for poetry in translation. We believe translation continues to be a vital part of public and artistic discourse.
We’re interested in new translations of poetry and drama, particularly (but not exclusively) from contemporary authors. We’re expanding to include interviews and dialogues between artists and thinkers of all stripes: conversations where disagreement tends to enrich debate, rather than suspend it. We’re on the hunt for profiles and long-form writing that sheds light on literary and artistic praxis around the world.
We publish all poems in their original languages alongside their translations. We pay you for your work.
GUIDELINES: Please upload up to 5 poems by the same author, and a brief explanatory note to contextualize the work, with the title “Poems: [Author’s name, original language].” If you're submitting drama or another genre, please adjust title accordingly.
Please also upload the original texts and confirmation of permission to publish your translations, given by the author, publisher, and/or estate.
We only accept work that has not been previously published in English. Simultaneous submissions are welcome, but please do let us know if your work will appear elsewhere. We’ll do our best to get back to you within four months.

LITERARY PORTFOLIO SUBMISSIONS
P+B In Print
DEADLINE: January 4, 2021
INFO: P+B Publications is an independent publisher, seeking the best new work by women and non-binary authors. In the spirit of Pen + Brush, we believe fervently that our publishing program exists to act as forceful means of dispelling the misconception that too few women produce consistently high-level literary fiction and poetry.
We publish with the following goals:
All work we publish is of a high quality
We never pre-filter submissions based on publishing experience, education, or background
We are looking to work with strong new voices and we are committed to publishing them.
Pen + Brush publishes poetry and short and long literary fiction. We publish short stories and poems in our literary magazine Pen + Brush In Print, which is distributed in print and electronically.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: P+B In Print No. 5
We are currently accepting submissions for our P+B In Print, No. 5 literary magazine, to be released in 2021. This issue will feature a guest editor, Novella Ford, whose theme is inspired by the recent HBO series created by Misha Green, Lovecraft Country episode “I Am.” We are seeking submissions that explore a question Hippolyta, a mother of a gifted artist, a science nerd and a widowed business owner, asks after unexpected travel through space and time; each experience revealing herself to herself, in order to name herself. At the end of the journey, she joyously proclaimed “How can I fit everything that I am now, into this place?” A clarion call for anyone who has experienced a shift in their persona, creative practice, principles, and/or actions.
For some, the quarantine due to COVID 19 has provided a time to sit with oneself and operate in solitude. For others, quarantine, global uprisings against police brutality, a protracted U.S. election season, and more, gave way to a dizzying cocktail of financial insecurity, anxiety, and stretching to meet the needs of many. You may not have made it completely to the other side, but you know more about what you are capable of than when the year 2020 started. What happens in the aftermath when we awaken to ourselves; when we cannot unknow what has been revealed? How do we make room for our glorious revelations in seemingly fixed spaces?
For P+B In Print, No. 5, we are looking for a variety of work led by the imagination, that is also revelatory and worthy of the journey. How the theme is approached is up to you. We are excited by different writing styles, genres, and subgenres.
Aligned with P+B’s vision to provide a platform to showcase the work of female and non-binary artists and writers to a broader audience with the ultimate goal of effecting real change within the marketplace, we are pleased to offer an honorarium ($150 - $500) for all submissions accepted for publication. *Please note these honorariums are made possible by generous grants and donations received during this publication period, amounts may vary for subsequent publications.
We are only accepting previously unpublished work.
Fiction/Non Fiction (under 3500 words) - up to $500
We are accepting one submission per author. Excerpts from book-length projects are fine, but we will be looking for the excerpt to stand strong on its own. Short stories, essays, autobiographical/memoir, literary fiction, and creative nonfiction are all welcomed. Humor, satire, and the political also have a place here.
Poetry (under 2 pages typed) - $150 for two published poems
We are accepting up to four submissions per author.
Each submission should include a short bio, not to exceed 75 words. This will not impact the assessment of the work. We want to know a little bit about you!
About Guest Curator, Novella Ford:
Novella Ford is the Associate Director of Public Programs and Exhibitions at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a research division of The New York Public Library. She created the inaugural Schomburg Center Literary Festival in 2019 and has organized hundreds of public programs at the intersection of scholarship and popular culture.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Full Bleed
DEADLINE: January 10, 2021
INFO: Full Bleed, an annual journal of art and design, seeks submissions for its fifth issue, forthcoming in May 2021. We publish criticism, belle lettres, artwork, design, illustration, fiction, poetry, and graphic essays.
For Issue Five, we are especially interested in submissions on the theme of adaptation. In this time of accelerating change, we invite artists, designers, and writers to reflect on the various ways that ecological, technological, and social conditions have necessitated and will necessitate reinvention, hard resets, or new modes of coping, working, living, and thinking. How might art and design imagine, critique, or facilitate the adaptations that will surely be required of us--and of other creatures--in the years to come? How does this time compare to other periods of disruption? How do artists, designers, and creative people persevere? We welcome critical essays on art and artists concerned with ecological change, mass psychology, mental health, and personal, socio-economic, or political adaptations--those that have occurred in the past, and those yet to materialize. We also invite designers and educators to share socially inclusive innovations for the future, and ideas regarding the transmission of adaptation as a skill for coping with rapid change. Send us, too, your personal essays, poetry, and fiction about survival and somehow finding joy or comedy in the struggle to adapt to the changes afoot in our lives.
In addition to essays and stories of up to 7000 words, Full Bleed publishes shorter, recurring columns of approximately 800 to 2000 words. These include "Close Looks", in which writers offer in-depth appreciations of individual artworks; "Design Futures", in which designers propose new ideas relevant to contemporary challenges facing their discipline; "Cities", which examines urban conditions, innovations, and tendencies; and “Studio Visit”, in which the writer visits with and interviews a contemporary artist or designer.
Please submit previously unpublished work along with a brief biography and cover letter through this form. Keep in mind that we are an annual publication and will not be making final decisions about the content of issue 5 before February 2021. If your work is accepted elsewhere between now and then, please do let us know by writing to fullbleedjournal@gmail.com.
Published annually by the Maryland Institute College of Art, Full Bleed is committed to cultivating aesthetic experience and progressive design while furthering understanding of contemporary conditions. We favor criticism that emanates personality and experiments with form. We encourage contrarian argument and ambitious critical essays on cultural phenomena that are of active concern to living artists and designers. Issues One (Migration), Two (Crisis), Three (Machines), and Four (Archive) are available at www.full-bleed.org.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Stellium
DEADLINE: January 15, 2021
INFO: Stellium is a literary magazine centering Black queer and trans prose writers. We still accept work from other Black and QTPOC writers. We are a bimonthly (every two months) magazine seeking to create our first two digital issues.
We are currently curating pieces for our first and second issues. Here are the themes.
Issue One - Manifestation - What would you create if you could conjure? What do you create since you can conjure? Who is clearly a master at this art? Is it tangible? Is it ethereal? Does it reach you and your community or is it symbolic? Are you fearful of the creation or begging for it?
Issue Two - Exposing - What has been brought to light recently? What has been lying underneath the surface that is generally unspoken? Was it hidden on purpose or just tossed to the side and forgotten? How was it revealed? What happens now that we "know"? Is it a shy or exhibitionist truth?
What are we looking for?
Prose poetry - We do not accept traditional poetry. Please note this description before submitting. Prose poetry is "not broken into verse lines, [but] demonstrates other traits such as symbols, metaphors, and other figures of speech common to poetry." Write in paragraphs and with a poetic flow, and we'll want to see it. Please submit a maximum of three poems. This section is not theme-specific but you're encouraged to focus on it.
Fiction - We welcome long- or short-form fiction. If you submit flash fiction (up to 2k words), you can submit up to three pieces of similar length. The sweet spot is around 4k to 7k words. This section is not theme-specific but you're encouraged to focus on it.
Nonfiction - We're seeking creative nonfiction submissions. We welcome memoir, social commentary, and new-journalism pieces among other works. Not academic papers. The sweet spot is around 2k to 4k words. This section is not theme-specific but you're encouraged to focus on it.
Art - We accept scans of any original, visual art. This section is theme-specific. We won't accept work that doesn't adhere to the theme of the issue.

CALL FOR TEXTS
James Banner + Stephanie Lamprea Duo
DEADLINE: January 15, 2021, 10pm CET
INFO: Berlin-based composer and improviser James Banner is commissioning 6 people who work with words to create new pieces of writing for a new duo with Stephanie Lamprea. The words will form the basis of a new series of works for voice and double bass (plus guests) for a 2021 album release. Each commissioned writer will receive 200 euros and in addition, each piece will be published alongside its paired musical score as a limited edition printed book and in digital form.
You may be an author, poet, writer, blogger, journalist, or active in any other field that uses words, and at any level or stage in your career. There is no official requirement to be working professionally or established in any of these fields, however one aim of the project is to further the visibility of your work and develop your portfolio, to help stimulate future opportunities and the possibilities of further collaborations, therefore please consider if this is the right project for you before applying.
BRIEF: The brief is to create a new piece of writing that is limited to 1-2 A4 pages with no minimum or maximum word count. The content is totally up to the contributor and may also include other visual/graphic elements, but this is not a requirement – the focus is on the meaning of the words and representing a diverse range of voices and ideas in the resulting music.
You may consider yourself published, self-published, unpublished, ‘emerging’ etc. We recognise the variety of people who may feel included in one or more of these umbrella terms and no-one is excluded based on this.
For this project, James is especially seeking to include those who identify as LGBTQIA+, non-binary, gender fluid, BIPOC, QTPOC, Latinx, Asian, female, disabled and neurodivergent, as well as those who are or were first generation college/university students or come from under-represented socio-economic backgrounds.
To enter, please fill out the form below by 15th January 2021, 10pm CET – audio and/or video submissions are also encouraged alongside textual representations. 6 Shortlisted contributors will receive 50 euros, 6 final contributors will receive 200 euros.
FULL DETAILS:
The call uses a three stage non-anonymous process: open call, shortlisting and final selection. The open call runs for one month during which contributors can send in existing work examples. At the shortlisting stage, 12 contributors will be asked to propose an idea or submit a draft for the final piece – the 6 not selected at this stage will still receive 50 euros for their draft/idea which will not be used in the project. The remaining 6 contributors will go on to submit a final work to be included in the project, and receive a 200 euro commission fee.
SCHEDULE:
Open call – submissions accepted until 15th January 2021, 10pm CET
12 person shortlist notified – 17th January 2021, 10pm CET
Deadline to submit ideas and drafts for the final work – 27th January 2021, 10pm CET

Submissions will not be judged anonymously and a diverse range of voices will be represented – additionally, we will endeavour to actively reach out to the groups mentioned above during the open call process
Free to apply, no age limit, no location limit, no language or education requirements
Dates and deadlines are subject to change depending on applications and will be flexible to allow more time where necessary
PROJECT:
The 6 contributors agree to communicate with James in a timely manner via email and will aim to promote their participation in the project via personal websites and/or their social media presence (where available) – where email is not accessible or appropriate, an alternative mode of communication will be established
The design of the physical/downloadable editions will be made in collaboration between James and the contributor to ensure they feel their work is being visually represented fully and accurately – whilst we do want the finished work to be high quality and high resolution, no-one will be excluded based on access to hardware or software or abilities in design, and this is not part of the judgement in the open call or shortlisting stages
If a contributor misses a deadline without warning due to exceptional circumstances and no contact is made, James will attempt to contact them by email to check in – where the contributor does not respond within two weeks of the final deadline, James reserves the right to withdraw the offer of inclusion in the project and will ask someone from the shortlist to take their place
COPYRIGHT AND ACCREDITATION:
Every contributor retains copyright of their work and is permitted to publish their work elsewhere, wherever it does not impinge on the ability to continue to use the work for this project – a non-exclusive licence will be set up between the contributor and James that details the uses of the words for this project only
Contributors agree that their work can be freely interpreted, developed, performed, broadcast and recorded live, digitally, on radio and in any other format for this project only (in relation to audio/booklet purchases, also for profit) – full details will be provided in the contract
Upon completion of the musical works, contributors will be credited by James as ‘authors’ of the words through GEMA and any royalties through live/radio performance automatically distributed through that system if you are registered with a performing rights organisation such as PRS, GEMA, ASCAP etc. by doing this, contributors are able to receive both the one off payment for the new work and any continued royalties that may arise from performance or broadcast
Contributors will not receive any share of audio/physical/download sales or concert ticket sales relating to this project
With approval, all contributors from the open call and shortlist stages will be credited in the digital download edition of the final work alongside one link to their work/portfolio/website etc. – please select this option in the application form if you wish to be included
The final 6 contributors will receive appropriate credit in the album track listings, physical and digital download editions of the final work and agree to send one press photo with photographer credit and a biography that is available to use in this project without restriction
Every contributor from the first stage onwards will receive a free digital download of the project. Each of the final 6 contributors will receive a printed copy of the book (including postage up to 15 euros) plus a digital download
COMMISSION FEES AND FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY:
Each of the 6 final contributors selected from the shortlist will receive a commission fee of 100 euros from James plus a further 100 euros from the crowdfunding campaign – in the event that the crowdfunding campaign does not reach its target, the contributors will still receive the agreed amounts
The other 6 people from the 12 shortlisted will receive a fee of 50 euros from James for their time and contribution
This project is partly enabled by the support provided from the Berlin State scholarship ‘Kulturprojekte Berlin’, full details are available at https://stipendium.kulturprojekte.berlin/de/stipendien/

Helene Wurlitzer Foundation
DEADLINE: January 18, 2021
INFO: The Helene Wurlitzer Foundation of New Mexico (HWF) is a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit, educational and charitable organization committed to supporting the arts. Founded in 1954, the HWF manages one of the oldest artist residency programs in the USA and is located on fifteen acres in the heart of Taos, New Mexico, a multicultural community renowned for its popularity with artists.
The Foundation offers three months of rent-free and utility-paid housing to people who specialize in the creative arts. Our eleven artist casitas, or guest houses, are fully furnished and provide residents with a peaceful setting in which to pursue their creative endeavors.
The Foundation accepts applications from painters, poets, sculptors, writers, playwrights, screenwriters, composers, photographers, and filmmakers of national and international origin.
Applications are reviewed by a selection committee consisting of professionals who specialize in the artistic discipline of the applicant. Numerous jurors serve on committees for each: visual arts, music composers, writers, poets, playwrights, and filmmakers. Jurors, who know nothing about the artist's demographics, score in five categories based purely on the merit of the applicant's creative work samples.
Artists in residence have no imposed expectations, quotas, or requirements during their stay on the HWF campus. The HWF’s residency program provides artists with the time and space to create, which in turn enriches the artistic community and culture locally and abroad.
GUIDELINES:
Literary artists may upload writing samples in .pdf format using the application form above. Alternatively, literary artists may choose to mail hard-copies. Include a cover sheet containing your contact info and table of contents, but please omit names and contact info on the writing samples themselves.
• Writers: samples should not exceed 35 double-spaced pages
• Poets: a maximum of six poems.
• Playwrights: include one complete play.
• Screenwriters: include one complete screenplay.
Digital work samples are accepted and encouraged for applications from visual artists and composers.
