ekphrasis, noun: a literary description of a visual work of art
A picture is worth a thousand words, and for this issue, we want illustrations to lead the conversation.
Submissions for stories and poetry that are inspired by, in response to, or in conversation with the following illustrations will be accepted from February 24th - March 31st.
We welcome up to three poems and two prose pieces (maximum of 600 words each) per submission, but please note the following guidelines:
All submissions must be connected to the artwork featured on this page. Any poems or stories that are not inspired by or related to the illustrations presented here will not be considered.
All written pieces should be submitted in a single document with the titles of each piece clearly marked (.doc/.docx, or pdf preferred).
Please do not submit multiple pieces in response to a single illustration. For example, if you are submitting three poems, those three poems should be in response to three separate works of art.
Please be sure to list on our submission form the title of each of your pieces and the number for the image that each piece is connected to. (For example: My Great Poem--Image 3).
If your artwork has been selected to appear in this issue, you are welcome to submit poems or stories for consideration, but please do not send written submissions that respond to your own illustration.
As always, no AI-generated work. We are looking for your original ideas!
Unpublished work only please! For our purposes, a piece is considered published if it has appeared online or in print in an existing journal, magazine, anthology, or other books. Work that has appeared on personal blogs, social media, or as part of a class assignment is okay. Remember, though, for this issue we only want writing that responds to the artwork featured on this page so please keep that in mind before you submit a piece that was written prior to seeing the featured illustrations.
We will happily accept simultaneous submissions, but please let us know if your submission is accepted elsewhere by emailing us at littlethoughtspress@gmail.com to withdraw your piece.
We welcome submissions from writers and artists of all ages. A number of spots per issue will be reserved for our youngest submitters ages 12 and under.
When you are ready to submit, send your work through our submission form. (A link for our submission form will be made available here on Monday, February 24th.) Please do not email your submission. If you have difficulty using our submission form, please email Claire at littlethoughtspress.gmail.com for assistance.
