Clinch: A Martial Arts Literary Magazine
Deadline September 30 (must be received by this date). Clinch is an online literary journal of work inspired by the martial arts. They are currently open to submissions of unpublished poetry, fiction, essays, and visual art for Issue IV. Payment is $15 for accepted work. Send 1-3 poems, maximum 10 pages total, or one prose piece (including stand-alone novel and memoir excerpts) of 5,000 words maximum. Editors say, "Submissions do not have to mention the martial arts—though we prefer those that do. Instead, all submissions must share in the virtues of martial arts, those of patience, meditation, and surprise, whether that be in their technique or in their content." Read sample work on their website before submitting.
