Queering Americana | Call for Submissions
deadline August 31
posted by the museum of americana
Issue 28 will be: “Queering Americana,” work that queers the focus and perception of traditional Americana. For our August submission period they are particularly interested in works from queer folks, especially queer BIPOC. They are also interested in reading submissions from non queer identifying folks whose work somehow still queers Americana. The museum of americana accepts submissions of original fiction, nonfiction, poetry, book/chapbook reviews, writer interviews, music, and art. They seek work that showcases, examines, or repurposes historical American culture.
General Guidelines: the museum of americana accepts submissions of original fiction, nonfiction, poetry, book/chapbook reviews, writer interviews, music, and art. We seek work that showcases, examines, or repurposes historical American culture. This is, of course, an enormous and diverse tub of spare parts, and we want to see what you can create. Give us fiction that dramatizes weird old folk songs or steals their characters. Give us love poetry that mixes language cribbed from The Federalist Papers with language from WWII propaganda posters. We want aspects of Americana we may not have even heard of yet.
Submissions of fiction, nonfiction, humor writing, poetry, and art will be read in the months of April, August, and December. Submissions sent at any other time will be deleted unread. Reviews, interviews, and music for American Songbook will be considered all year round.
