Call for Contributors

The AUG/SEPT 2008 issue of Quiet Mountain: New Feminist Essays will
be an open issue.  The August/September issue only will be open to both men and
women writers of feminist essays, and open to other forms of feminist
expression (other than essay) as well.  Several essays will be featured; poetry,
and book/film/art reviews will be, too.  (I am working to fix the
scanner, so artwork can be published in this open issue!)

DEADLINE : July 1, 2008
Send your work in the body of an email (not as an attachment).  Please follow
the submissions guidelines below on this page or refer to those
on the Submissions page.

Special Issue GUIDELINES...

* PLEASE NOTE: No multiple or simultaneous submissions are appropriate for the Summer Open Issue; and all work
must be signed with your name as you wish it to appear in print.

ESSAYS     1-4, double-spaced pages.  As usual, any subject that pertains to
women's lives, health, politics, or economics, etc., is good to explore.  Essays
may be academic, witty, serious, or a combination - even personal.  Clarity of
prose is appreciated, so please proof-read your work.  Gratuitous profanity is
not appreciated.

Book/Film/Art REVIEWS     1 double-spaced page.  Now is the time to
share that opinion you had of the last book or film you took in.  Or, how about
letting the rest of us know about the talents of a new woman artist! Please make
sure that the book, film, or artwork you are reviewing either pertains to women
or is by one.

POETRY     Please limit poetry to (1) submission - send your favorite!
Poem length: One page (if single-spaced); again, gratuitous profanity is to be
avoided.  Make sure that any special formatting is indicated in your email
submission, as it will often get lost during transmission.
* Poetry segment will be limited to five featured poems.

INTERVIEWS     1-2 pages, simple question/answer format.  One
interview will be featured.  Women are doing their thing everywhere -
introduce us to someone new or share a woman's voice we (should) all know!

Email work within the text body to:  
Submissions@QuietMountainEssays.org

Or, send your signed, typed work on disk (rich text format) or paper to:

Quiet Mountain Essays
Box 261
Scotland, So. Dakota 57059

Response time for the summer Open Issue is about 2 weeks post-Deadline.

*  At QME the spirit of First Serial Rights applies, in that all rights remain with authors after the work's debut at QME.  However,
unless an author requests otherwise, all works are archived on the QME site.  Archiving benefits the journal and the writer,
allowing writers to build an online library of their work.
