Special Call for Anniversary Submissions: Room Literary Magazine by and about Women

Post date: 31 March 2011
Deadline: 15 May 2011 (winter issue), 31 August 2011 (anniversary issue)

In 2012, Room celebrates its 35th volume of quality writing and art by women. That's a lot of fine stories and poems, art images, and non-fiction. And over the last five years, we've also brought you interviews with some interesting women from all walks of life.


The collective of women who put Room together plan to spend the coming years in the same tradition- bringing you excellent work by women. Our special 35th anniversary issue will be out in spring 2012. We've chosen journey as our theme, to be edited by Clelie Rich. We're looking for quality writing and art images that reflect all aspects of journeying- the milestones and lessons, the vehicles and companions, the maps and misadventures.

Check out our guidelines and send us your very best work.

Call For Submissions for 2011 Winter Issue

Room's 2011 winter issue will focus on Sibling Relationships. Are the connections between twins different than that of other siblings? How are relationships with brothers different from those with sisters? When does a friend become family? Room is looking for original, unpublished fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, and artwork that explores the multifaceted dimensions of these complex relationships. From the joyful connections to the troubling heartaches of sib relationships—we want to read them all.

Please submit to the attention of Amber Hitchen by May 15 2011.
