Calls for Submissions:
1. Drafthorse
Drafthorse Literary Journal is seeking submissions for its Summer 2013 issue. Drafthorse is a biannual online publication of fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, visual narrative, and other media art where work, occupation, labor—or lack of the same—is in some way intrinsic to a narrative’s potential for epiphany. They are interested in how work (or the absence of it) affects people and communities on an intimate level. While they’re open to various interpretations, they expect the subject to be fundamental to your submission in some way. Deadline for the summer issue is April 30, 2013.
