A Call for Submissions
Special Issue: The In-Between Age ~
Writers on Adolescence
Crab Orchard Review is seeking work for our Summer/Fall 2008 issue focusing
on writing inspired or informed by the experiences, observations, and/or cultural
and historical possibilities of the following topic: “The In-Between Age ~ Writers
on Adolescence.” We are open to work that covers any of the multitude of ways
that the transition from childhood to adulthood in the teenage years defines us
and, in turn, defines the world we live in.
All submissions should be original, unpublished poetry, fiction, or literary
nonfiction in English or unpublished translations in English (we do run bilingual,
facing-page translations whenever possible). Please query before submitting any
interview. The submission period for this issue is August 1, 2007 through
October 31, 2007. We will be reading submissions throughout this period and
hope to complete the editorial work on the issue by mid-February. Writers
whose work is selected will receive $20 (US) per magazine page ($50 minimum
for poetry; $100 minimum for prose), two copies of the issue, and a year’s
subscription. Mail submissions to:
