Fieldnotes Open Call for Submission

FIELDNOTES invites submissions for its seventh issue, exploring new forms and ideas. Contributions can include text and visual materials such as fiction, non-fiction, poetry, interviews, translations, photography, drawing, and collage. Experimental works and innovations that blur boundaries between text and image are highly encouraged. Submissions from underrepresented groups, especially those facing cultural, social, physical, or economic barriers, are particularly welcome. The best way to get a sense of the kind of work we publish is to buy a copy of a previous issue! Concessions are available in our online shop.
