WRITE-HAUS
ISSUE 05
Submission Deadline: June 16
Call for Submissions Issue 05
Write-Haus Magazine is now accepting submissions to be included in our fifth print issue, “In Parentheses.”
Grammatically, we use parentheses to present pertinent, but often secondary information. They can clarify a point or offer a quiet aside, sometimes gently, and sometimes disruptively. They sit within the flow of a sentence but often call attention to themselves.
Figuratively, we see parentheses as holding the daily happenings of our lives: glances exchanged between strangers on a crowded bus, puffer jackets on a summer day, a missed call, a good morning and goodnight. Parentheses mark the soft boundaries of the everyday—the spaces where we meet each other, even for a moment, in real and surprising ways.
For Issue 05, we are looking for poetry, prose, and visual art that respond to this theme—both its grammatical and metaphorical meanings. Send us work that clarifies or complicates; that offers a side note or a second look; that disrupts syntax and challenges form; that reveals the beauty in our experiences whether big or small. From cover to cover, this issue will serve as the parentheses that hold your work, (eternally).
We look forward to reading and viewing your works, In Parentheses.
