As the 2008 fiction fellow at the Bronx Writers Center, I will be the fiction editor for the next issue of their literary journal, Cross Bronx.

We are currently seeking submissions! See below for the complete guidelines. Short stories are welcome from all writers living or working in the Bronx, but we will also consider work that is set there…
==============================================

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:
Fiction, Poetry and Photography from or about the Bronx

For its next issue, the online literary journal Cross Bronx (crossbronx.org) is seeking short stories, creative non-fiction, poetry, and photography on the theme of HOME.

What does home mean to you? What is it like to have a love/hate relationship with your home? What if home is a friend’s couch, or a shelter, or a park? Is is a color, a sound, a sudden sharp sense memory? Home is a complicated concept, and for this issue we want new and challenging views of what “home” means. We want to meet fictional characters who wrestle with the diverse emotional, physical, and spiritual landscape of “home.” We want poetry that illuminates different aspects of “home” - safety, warmth, family, confinement, repression, fear, love, food, sex, etc. We want photographs that show us something we’ve never seen before.

Submissions are welcome from Bronx-based writers, as well as work that takes place in the Bronx. Deadline for all submissions is MAY 15th, 2009.
