Submission Deadline: Grits Quarterly: Issue #3: Revive

January 11, 2021 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Free
Online, N/A, Portland, OR 97207

Revived, reborn, restored, rejuvenated. Stories of coming back to life. Reviving your body, your spirit, your hope. Healing, rescuing, or breathing new life into something old. Maybe something came close to the edge and was saved. Maybe something that had shriveled was reanimated. As we ride this winter into 2021, we are looking deep into the renaissance within us. This theme is open to your interpretation!
Issue #3 submission deadline : January 11, 2021
Issue #3 release : February 2021

What kind of work are we looking for?
We want to read your truest weirds. Words that smack you in the stomach. Words that gnaw your bones. Little grits stuck in your teeth that remind us of our humanity.

Written works: poetry, prose, short story, flash/micro fiction, journal excerpt, lists, independent journalism, and personal essay.
Visual arts: photography, illustration, drawings, comics, diagrammatic expressions, collage, and photodocumentation of 3D works.

#ownvoices: If your work speaks to the experience of a marginalized or non-dominant group of which you identify, Grits would like to hear from you. Please include the tag #ownvoices and a brief description of your perspective along with your submission.

Is there a theme?
Yes! Each issue has a single-word theme open to broad interpretation by the author or artist. Submissions not associated with a theme may be submitted anytime to be considered for a future themed issue.
