quiet Shorts Call for Submissions
quiet Shorts is a quarterly arts journal that exhibits a collection of voices – poems, essays, short stories, memoirs, reviews, lyrics, photographs, drawings, paintings and other forms best suited for the page. By placing our voices next to each other, quiet Shorts aims to provide a context for dialogue, a place for education, and a seed for motivation.
quiet's 2011 season theme is enGender Bender: Exploring our social blueprints. All 2011 issues of quiet Shorts will explore this theme. Remember, the theme is simply the catalyst to get your ideas flowing; dive in and see where it takes you.
Submissions for the Summer 2011 issue are due by Saturday, April 23rd, 2011.
The next quiet Shorts issue will be released online and in hard copy form Saturday, June 25th, 2011 with a FREE online preview available Saturday, June 18th, 2011.
