I’ve been thinking about all that goes into these Where to Submit posts, and have been grateful for the kind words that I hear about it more and more these days. One fact you may have observed: I include only a few short story/essay/poetry contests in our literary magazine section. While full manuscript submissions are often organized around contests, I worry that having a “contest” mentality toward literary publications (particularly in the short form) can be discouraging, especially to newer writers. I like thinking of magazines and presses as living breathing organisms rather than as slot machines, and it makes me happy when our list can reflect that.

Laura Plageman provides this post’s lovely, unsettling art. More of her work can be found here; a bio follows:

Laura Plageman is an artist and educator who lives and works in Oakland, CA. Her images explore the relationships between the process of image making, photographic truth and distortion, and the representation of landscape. She is interested in making pictures that examine the natural world as a scene of mystery, beauty, and constant change—transformed both by human presence and by its own design.

Best of luck on your next round of submissions, from all of us at Entropy. And feel free to write to Dennis James Sweeney (dennis@entropymag.org) if you’d like to have your press/mag/opportunity included on the next Where to Submit list.
