Call for Submissions for Fiction International: Real Time/ Virtual Issue

Deadline: 15 December 2012

Fiction International features a wide variety of fiction, nonfiction, indeterminate prose, and visuals by leading writers and artists from around the world.

Fiction International was named one of the “top literary magazines in America” among 2,000 eligible journals, according to Literary Magazine Review’s survey of over one hundred editors and writers.

Founded by Joe David Bellamy in 1973 at St. Lawrence University in New York, Fiction International was relocated to San Diego State University in 1983. It was edited by Harold Jaffe and Larry McCaffery until 1992, when Harold Jaffe assumed sole editorship.

Having published works by authors such as William Burroughs, Robert Coover, Edmund White, Joyce Carol Oates, Walter Abish, Kathy Acker, Ai, Allen Ginsberg, Alberto Moravia (Italy), Pierre Guyotat, George Perec, and Michel Serres (France), Claribel Alegria (Nicaragua), Tadeus Konwicki (Poland), J.M. Coetzee and Bessie Head (South Africa), Roque Dalton (El Salvador), Luisa Valenzuela (Argentina), Einar Schleef (Germany), Lya Luft (Brazil), Mridula Garg (India), Kanuko Okamuto (Japan), Michael Morrisey (New Zealand), Fiction International is the only literary journal in the United States emphasizing formal innovation and progressive politics.

Call for submissions to Fiction International’s Real Time/Virtual issue

“Virtual” is not just interfacing with “real” time but devouring it–at least in “developed” nations. Half the world, including much of Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the elderly everywhere still inhabit real time, but these millions scarcely count. The electronic revolution/devolution seems unstoppable. Who is really profiting from it?

Fiction, non-fiction, indeterminate prose, and visuals which address “Real Time/Virtual” are welcome. Please submit hard copy from 9/1 to 12/15 2012 to:

Harold Jaffe, Editor
Fiction International
Dept of English
San Diego State University

If submitting a hard copy isn’t possible, we may accept emailed submissions providing you receive approval in advance. Do not email without receiving prior approval. Should you have any further questions, please email the editor at: hjaffe@mail.sdsu.edu.
