call for submissions: [out of nothing]
http://www.outofnot hing.org/

[out of nothing], an electronic publication interested in new works in
image, sound, text, and the intersections between these media, is now
open to submissions for our fourth online edition of the journal—with
the theme, “In excess of all that is proper, shapely”—as
well as for a special print anthology. As usual, we ask that you
submit to us, at shelling.peanuts( at)gmail. com [replace (at) with @],
your textual, aural, visual, poly/ambi-medial work, that we may
publish it in both/either of these formats.

Deadline: April 30th, 2010.

Prospective contributors would be well-advised to consult our earlier
publications at http://www.outofnot hing.org as a guide to the type of
work we’re interested in: to supplement this understanding and ideally
stimulate your thinking about a new piece made particularly to address
the issues that consume, or rather, are consumed by us, we offer the
following potential topics:

> the vacuum
> salvage / remainders
> imaginary spaces possessed of imaginary dimensions
> darkness / lightlessness
> reduced or infinitesimal means
> the exponential
> self-abnegating symbols
> the blank
> obliteration
> the inconsequential
> refusal
> the contentless / general contentlessness
> the generic and / or undifferentiated and / or the contra-original
> adhesive agents in search of clients to bind
> none of the above or below

Our submissions guidelines are available at:

http://www.outofnot hing.org/ 310/journalState ment/journalStat ement.html

*We ask that you do not submit previously published work; we will draw
from our own reserves for The Familiar.

Emprise Review is looking for Non-Fiction submissions in three categories
http://empriserevie w.com/

1. Book reviews–Texts from any period but contemporary works in particular. 500-1000 word reviews that focus primarily on the text itself and make use of the reviewer’s opinion.

2. Film reviews–300- 1000 word reviews are preferable, as well as reviews that focus on the film and make use of the reviewer’s opinion.

3. Lists–Use your creativity as there are few rules, though in general we’d prefer lists that don’t go into the hundreds or thousands.

Works selected for publication will be featured on the front page/blogging portion of the website and would be seen by the majority of our visitors. Not only are we looking for submissions in the non-fiction category, we are also in search of some regular non-fiction contributors or bloggers to help bolster the critical portion of our website. Visit our non-fiction guidelines for further details.

Furthermore, as always, Emprise Review is open for submissions in original poetry and non-fiction. Please visit our Submit page for further details regarding our submission guidelines. You can also visit our magazine to read some of our previously published content to get some idea of what we’ve selected in the past, though don’t feel limited by our previous selections, we are always in search of new voices, modes, and genres.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact Patrick McAllaster, at <pmcalla(at) gmail.com> (replace (at) with @)

This costs $65 but is worth it given the roster of agents represented…lovely restaurant, too! And you don’t need to be a woman to go…if you have the $65 it’s a great opportunity, bring your edited, revised book proposal!
