submissions call - The Calque Review
Logo by Vince Haig.
.
We are launching an online publication, The Calque Review, focusing on exophonic writing and translation. All multi-lingual authors, bilingual authors, authors who translate themselves into English, authors who write in their non-native language, are welcome to submit. We also want to help promote translation from any language into English. This is an ongoing, open call.
We want to encourage everyone to submit. We repeat: everyone is welcome. One of the tenets of our project is to celebrate diversity among individuals. We want to encourage anyone to apply, regardless of ethnicity, sexual identity, religion or gender.
No AI, please. Calque Press is an AI-free company. We don't use AI at any stage of our production process, from submission to promotion. We work with and support artists. We don't want to see anything produced with this technology. Thank you for your understanding.
What are we looking for?
We like the different, the liminal, the strange, fiction, poetry, translation, experimental or hybrid projects. New voices, previously untranslated authors, and, in general, writing from the margins that deserves to be brought to the centre of the conversation.
FICTION / TRANSLATED FICTION: Any fiction, up to 5,000 words. We are extremely keen on speculative and near-future fictions, and fiction in general that broadens our understanding of the issues that matter, and serves as a space to imagine creative futures. With translated fiction, please include the original with your submission.
POETRY / TRANSLATED POETRY: Any poetry, up to 40 lines. With translated poetry, please include the original in your submission.
REVIEWS: Please contact us beforehand if you would like to submit a review.
How to submit?
Please write to us to review@calquepress.com with your submission, and a short BIO (max. 100 words), and we will be in touch.
Is there a deadline?
This is an open submission, without deadline at present.
Do you accept simultaneous submissions?
We do not have a problem with this, we only ask that, please, you let us know as soon as possible if the work has been accepted for publication elsewhere.
I still have questions.
