The Other Journal
Call for Creative Submissions
Details: http://www.theotherjournal.com/info.php?page=submissions
The Other Journal welcomes the submission of critical essays, reviews, creative writing, and visual or performance art that encounter life through the lens of theology and culture; they seek pieces that consider the interaction of faith with contemporary life, art, politics, sexuality, technology, economics, and social justice. They are particularly interested in works which present creative, alternative views that may otherwise fall outside the margins of mainstream narratives. And although they primarily focus on perspectives within the Christian tradition, they invite dialogue with all who are interested in exploring the ongoing role of faith and spirituality in the world.

A Patriotic / Military AnthologyAs the United States and other countries prepare to observe the tenth anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, our thoughts go to the brave military members who serve our nations at home and abroad and those who also serve by waiting faithfully and supporting the military members with calls, letters, care packages, and other expressions of love and appreciation during times of deployment. Silver Boomer Books wants your stories, poems, essays and interviews dealing with military life and experience. As always, we're looking for quality over quantity and actually favor shorter works, especially shorter poetry. We're open to stories from the American Revolution to current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan; stories from the homefront, the battlefront or behind the lines; humor, courage, pathos or drudgery. Projected release date for the anthology is August, 2011. We need your submissions no later than March 30th, 2011, and will let you know by June 30 if your work is selected for inclusion. For all the good writers who have no personal military experience, this is an opportunity to interview those who do. And what might your town, your church, your schools, your service group be doing to encourage or provide for those deployed, to remind them of home and of our appreciation for their commitment? |

Speculative SubmissionsWhile there are no present “plans” to publish the following anthologies, if you’ve got material that fits it and you want to send it to us on long-term speculation, we’ll take it. Ideas for anthologies include these: The Faith of our MothersThis might not actually be your female ancestors, but it should be stories of faith of real women at least a generation older than you are. Of course people like Susanna Wesley fit, but look for the more obscure ones like Mary McKendree, the invalid mother of Bishop William McKendree, a physician, a general, and lots of other outstanding children. Out of the KitchenWhen Sarah T. Hughes (who much later swore in Lyndon Johnson as President) was suggested as judge of the 14th District Court of Texas in 1935, a senator made a comment about the need for her to stay in the kitchen and not take the job of a man. Women pioneers in all the professions faced this kind of obstacle. Do you have stories about them you want to tell? Life Spinning MomentsSometimes a comment or an event pivots a life into a new and startling direction. What happened, and where did the spinning end? |

Multiple Calls for Manuscripts
Details: http://www.thedrillpress.coml
The Drill Press LLC is a new, independent publisher of ebooks.
They also have three online magazines and are seeking books, fiction, essays, memoirs.
Subject: Call for creative writing submissions for Milk
Money, a literary journal
Details:
http://www.milkmone
Entry Deadline: Feb. 15, 2011 for the next issue
Milk Money, Volume Seven: Vile Pile
They say print is dead. But who are “they” to say such a thing? The editors of
Milk Money Magazine in Cincinnati, Ohio think otherwise, and they can back it up
with the very real existence of their mechanical duplicator. It’s not alive –
it’s a machine – but the quarterly literary magazines it mass-produces are
evidence of a very alive scene for printed works of fiction, prose, and poetry
from national and international writers.
Milk Money is accepting submissions for its latest edition, Volume Seven: Vile
Pile. They are looking for exceptional works of literary and experimental
fiction and poetry. Works should be no more than 5,000 words whether it's
fiction or poetry. Please only submit one short story per issue, but feel free
to submit several works of poetry. We accept submissions year round, but the
deadline for our next issue is February 15th.
If a work has been published outside of the United States or published in an
online-only journal, Milk Money will consider it; please specify in the body of
your e-mail if this is the case when you are submitting. All other previously
published material will not be considered.
Milk Money only accepts work submitted via e-mail at submissions@milkmoneymag.
