Consequence Forum: “The Congo” Issue
Deadline October 15 (must be received by this date). Consequence Forum is a literary journal for poetry, fiction, essays, and artwork that address the human consequences of war and geopolitical violence. For their Translations feature in Vol. 18.1, they are seeking literary translations from the languages of the Congo into English—especially from Lingala, Swahili, Tshiluba, Kikongo, Kinyarwanda, and French—that engage with the lived realities and long shadows of war, colonialism, extraction, and displacement in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the broader Congo Basin. Accepted authors receive a modest payment. General submissions are also open at this time. See their Duosuma submission form for length limits for each genre.
