Ninth Letter: “Reversal” Issue
Deadline April 1 (must be received by this date). Ninth Letter is a well-regarded literary journal produced by the School of Art + Design and the Creative Writing Program at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. For their winter online issue, the theme will be "Reversal". Send 1-3 poems or one story or essay up to 3,500 words, with a brief cover letter explaining the works' connection to the theme, via Submittable. Submissions may close early if they reach their cap of 325 submissions per genre. Editors say, "Send us stories, essays and poems that portray the speaker's u-turn, characters making their about face or the self coming full circle. We welcome reversals big and small, tragic or fortunate, long coming or sudden. We'll be on the lookout for reversals of structure and form, theses refuted or contradictions embodied."
