What is Palaver? Palaver is the University of North Carolina Wilmington's online interdisciplinary journal housed in the Graduate Liberal Studies program. At Palaver, we challenge and embrace the vintage definition of “an often prolonged parley usually between persons of different levels of culture and sophistication.” A palaver encourages a dialogue of multiple perspectives. We showcase the distinct intellectual pursuits of contributors while merging those diverse academic endeavors into a forum that will give rise to a new dialogue.

Rose Red Review is now accepting submissions for its Summer 2014 issue!

Rose Red Review is published four times a year, in homage to the passing season. In fairy tales, the future is unknown, often summarized by the vague phrase “happily ever after,” but each character is influenced by his or her past, and we, like the characters, live in the moment as we read their story. Rose Red Review seeks to publish art, fiction, photography, and poetry that best reflects the magic in the every day–work that honors the past, the moment, and the uncertain future.

Read more about the publication here.

Please send your submissions here.

Quarterly West is now accepting submissions that fall within or near to the un-pin-downable categoryof New Media, including but not limited to video, audio, visual/collage, and interactive multimedia pieces. Excite us. Enthrall us. Make us swoon.

The Flexible Persona is an interactive literary magazine that publishes fiction and non-fiction in both audio and text format online.

What do we publish?

We are most interested in fiction that is engaging, character-driven, and focused on relationships (familial, friend, love, work, etc). We’re looking for work that carries emotional weight, shows characters changed and relationships evolved. We firmly believe this kind of work happens in all genres and we accept any genre except historical fiction.

We look for non-fiction that explores how people find a sane, happy life in a basically insane world. Stories of how outsiders sustain themselves, the struggle to maintain individuality in a conformist world, and explorations of unique communities appeal to us.

The Flexible Persona acquires first-time North American rights. After publication, all rights revert to the author and the work may be reprinted with courtesy acknowledgement of TFP.

Maximum 5500 words. We accept simultaneous submissions. Please submit through submittable.com.

What Happens If My Work Is Accepted?

Each month we publish both fiction and non-fiction stories on our website and also in audio format. Here's how it works! Writers, send us your work. If we accept it, we'll give you the option of recording a high-quality audio version of yourself reading your work, or we'll produce a reading ourselves.
