Description:

Nimrod International Journal welcomes submissions of poetry, short fiction, and creative nonfiction. We publish two issues annually. Our spring issue is thematic, with the theme announced the preceding fall. Previous themes have included Writers of Age; Range of Light: The Americas; Australia; Who We Are; Islands of the Sea and of the Mind; The Arabic Nations; Mexico/USA; and Crossing Borders. The fall issue features the winners and finalists of our annual Literary Awards. In most cases, both issues also contain work accepted as general submissions throughout the year. Format:Each issue is approximately 200 pages, perfect bound with a four-color cover.General Submissions:Accepted from January 1st to November 30th each year. Nimrod is closed to general submissions in December. Turn-around time for general submissions is one to five months. Online general submissions have a $3 fee associated with them.Prose: Work must be previously unpublished. 7,500 words maximum. Double-spaced. We seek vigorous writing with characters that are well developed and dialogue that is realistic without being banal.Poetry: Work must be previously unpublished. 3-7 pages. One poem per page. Poetry is open to all styles and subjects. We seek poems that go beyond one word or image, honor the impulse to reveal a truth about, or persuasive version of, the inner and outer worlds.We recommend reading a sample issue before submitting a manuscript.Thematic Submissions:Each fall Nimrod announces a theme for the following spring issue. The guidelines for thematic submissions are the same as for general submissions, except that thematic submissions are sometimes accepted in December. (Very occasionally we may choose a theme from previously accepted manuscripts, and then will not announce one for that year.) Online thematic submissions have a $3 fee associated with them. For the most up-to-date announcements on themes and other submission information, you can subscribe to our email newsletter or join us on Facebook or Twitter.Why is there a $3 fee for online general and thematic submissions?Our $3 fee is not a reading fee, but a fee to cover the administrative costs associated with our online submission system. We believe that it is not higher than what you might spend on a paper submission, once you factor in paper, ink, mailing, return envelopes, and postage. If you do not wish to pay the $3, you may submit via postal mail, as we have no fees associated with postal general and thematic submissions. However, we also offer this alternative as a way to conveniently upload material directly from your computer, as well as to check the status of your submission online. Payment:For work printed in our two 2020 issues, Words on Playand Awards 42, we will pay $10/page, with a maximum payment of $200. Visual artists whose work appears internally will also be compensated at a rate of $10 per image used; front cover artists will be paid $100 for their work. All contributors will also receive two copies of the issue in which their work appears. Work selected for publication through our two annual contests, the Nimrod Literary Awards and the Francine Ringold Awards for New Writers, will also receive this payment (though monetary prizes for winners will remain the same: $2,000 and $1,000 for the Literary Awards; $500 for the Francine Ringold Awards).Nimrod Literary Awards:Annual contest begins January 1 and ends April 1. Fiction: 7,500 words maximum (one short story or a self-contained excerpt from a novel)Poetry: 3-10 pages. One long poem or several shorter poems. No previously published works or works accepted for publication elsewhere. Author's name must not appear on the manuscript. Include a cover sheet with title, author's name, full address, phone email. Submitters must be living in the US by October of the contest year to enter. All finalists will be considered for publication. In addition to publication and the prize money, winners will also be brought to Tulsa for the Awards Ceremony in October.The Francine Ringold Awards for New WritersAnnual contest begins May 1 and ends July 15.UPDATE: We have extended the 2020 Francine Ringold Awardssubmission deadline to August 15, 2020!Eligibility: The Francine Ringold Awards for New Writers honor the work of writers at the beginning of their careers. They are open only to writers whose work has not appeared or is not scheduled to appear in more than 2 publications.

Endings and beginnings have power—both in a narrative sense and in our day-to-day lives. We mark the beginnings and endings of everything: stages of life, the last lines of poems, our first kisses. Sometimes they offer stark definition, a clear demarcation of then and now. Sometimes—often, in fact—they are connected, with an ending also signaling a beginning or vice versa. And beginnings and endings come in all shapes and sizes, occurring in the most important aspects of our lives, such as birth, death, and marriage, and also in the smaller moments, such as the first bud of spring or the last song on an album. In this issue, we wish to delve into any and all aspects of beginnings and endings and explore the excitement, disappointment, pain, and joy they bring with them.What We Are Seeking:Here are a few examples of what submissions for this issue might look like: Work that features milestones of beginning: birth, marriage, first day of school, first road trip, new jobs, new homes or homelands, origin stories, planting a garden, and more. Work that features milestones of ending: death, graduation, leaving home, estate sales, extinction, apocalypse and its aftermath, and more. Work that explores the way that endings and beginnings may be intertwined and/or inseparable (example: the chimes that bridge the old year and the new year; divorce as the end of a relationship and the possibility of a new one). Work that features more abstract ideas of beginnings and endings (examples: the first and last letters of alphabets; reworking/reimagining of the beginnings or endings of myths and fairy tales; the last bite of a delicious dessert). Work that plays with beginnings and endings using rhetorical form, such as sestinas or palindromes. Work that examines, meditates on, or engages with any aspect of beginnings or endings in unexpected and unique ways.This list is just a start; we hope you will surprise us with additional ideas about endings and beginnings we have not thought of.We are excited about this issue, so please send your work and/or share this announcement with writing groups, students, and friends. We hope to receive a variety of material for this issue, with interpretations of this theme from writers of all backgrounds and publication histories; we especially welcome work from writers of color, writers of marginalized orientations and gender identities, writers of varying socio-economic status, and writers with physical or mental differences.The Specifics: Poetry may be up to 7 pages.
