Call for Submissions
The Israel Association of Writers in English (IAWE) has begun collecting submissions of original poetry and prose in English from citizens and residents of Israel for the 32nd issue of arc, our annual literary journal.
The theme for arc 32 is “Humble Beginnings,” incorporating whatever is related to things small and new, modest and incipient. Poems, stories, and essays addressing that theme whether closely or indirectly are encouraged. Here are some images to spark your imagination:
· a fresh footprint, a sprouting seed, a single candle
· a little door, a nest, a rising wind
· a new job, friend, project, school
Translations of Israeli literature into English will also be considered if submitted with the copyright-holder’s permission. Artwork will not be considered. Please do not send AI-generated text.
Work will be considered from those who are Israeli citizens anywhere or Israeli residents, whether members of the IAWE or not.
Submission guidelines:
· Please submit up to three poems and/or three items of prose by October 1, and please refrain from publishing them elsewhere until you’ve received the editors’ decision. Maximum length for each item of prose is 1500 words.
· Submit in docx, doc, or rtf format, and include pdf format as well if your work relies on creative spacing of words or lines.
· Send your submission to arc32e...@gmail.com and please include a third-person biography of 50 to 70 words.
At this time the IAWE cannot pay authors for accepted works, but each contributor will receive a copy of arc 32.
Contributors retain copyright and may also republish after arc 32 appears. We ask only that you acknowledge that the work first appeared in arc 32. The IAWE retains the non-exclusive right to republish content from arc 32 in any form. The editors are under no obligation to accept any particular submission, and their decision is final.
We look forward to receiving your work.
