Hello, friends! In September of 2015, I began the Certificate Program at the Independent Publishing Resource Center in Portland, Oregon. This place is amazing and I love our instructors and all the energy of this awesome creative environment. I am really excited for all that is ahead of us as we start the second semester this week. We will focus on book design, letter press, cover design — all the elements that go into making and publishing a book — plus the best part, work shopping and learning from an engaged group of writers. One of the projects, in addition to the production of an anthology, is the literary journal, 1001. It is currently open for submissions. Volunteers from the certificate program edit and create the journal. Please read on and please share widely with your friends!
Call for submissions:
The Independent Publishing Resource Center’s annual literary journal, 1001, is open for submissions from January 1st thru March 15th.
1001 accepts submissions of poetry, prose, and comics as stated in the guidelines below. The IPRC has included a new certificate track this year that focuses on Image and Text, and we look forward to seeing your work that engages with both word and images. We are also interested in hybrid text, which for our purposes is defined as a piece that breaks with the conventions of poetry, prose, or comics. If your submission is of this nature, please send it via the option that best fits and tell us about your piece/s in the cover letter.
Simultaneous submissions are allowed. Inform editors immediately (via email) if your submission has been accepted elsewhere.
No previously published work (this includes personal blogs) will be considered.
If you have a question, please inquire here: 1001editors@iprc.org.
We look forward to reading your submissions!
