Adda Open Call: CLIMATE CHANGE |
Deadline: 31 January 2020
adda is the
online magazine of Commonwealth Writers.
We
are looking for new writing on the theme of climate change.
We
seek poetry, fiction and – in particular – non-fiction.
Non-fiction submissions can be sent
either completed or in the form of a detailed proposed idea/pitch (maximum 500
words). For those sending in a pitch, Commonwealth Writers recommends
submitting as far in advance of the deadline as possible.
No previously published work will be
considered, whether in print or online, in whole or in part. We will, however,
consider new translations into English of work already published in other
languages.
We will consider commissioning new non-fiction in other languages
and arrange the translation ourselves. Please note, we can only accept
submissions from citizens of Commonwealth countries.
We encourage you to familiarise
yourself with the work already published on www.addastories.org . We are looking to select
a broad range of work. Entries by voices, or on topics, that may receive less
attention from other publications are welcomed.
Please submit only once. You may
enter work in one of the three categories: Poetry, Fiction, or Non-fiction. We
accept simultaneous submissions on the understanding you will inform us
immediately if the text is accepted for publication elsewhere.
To submit to this call, please go to
the adda website www.addastories.org/open-call/,
where you can complete the submissions
form and upload:
- A description of your writing history (300 words max)
And one of the
following:
- Up to two poems only (no word count, but a maximum five pages in total)
- One piece of fiction writing (word count 2000-5000)
- One non-fiction piece (word count 2000-5000)
- One non-fiction proposal (word count 500 words maximum)
*
Submissions will be read
anonymously. Please do not include any contact or personal information in the
files that you submit.
Formatting guidelines: please
double-space prose and single-space poetry, and use Arial 12-point font. Do not
submit PDFs, but Word docs.
The deadline for submissions is
23:59 (in your time zone), 31 January 2020.
We aim to make decisions on entries
and contact entrants before 31 March 2020. We regret we are unable to provide
feedback.

Please make your submissions via the
