We are now accepting submissions for our second issue: “Operatic Veils.” This can be interpreted in an infinite number of ways, however, only the ways that suit us best will be considered for publication. We are interested in defining, defiling, and defending barriers. We are interested in operas, mechanical operations, and operational machinations. We like layers upon layers of everything and words richer than cream. And we love literature that skirts the edges of what language can do. Please take a look at our past journal, “The Invisible Corset,” to get an idea of what we’re looking for. We will be considering poetry, fiction, creative-nonfiction, essays, as well as both visual and video art, though some of the latter pieces may only be featured on the website (for obvious reasons). Please send all submissions to Omnia.Vanitas.Review@gmail.com Please include the word "submission" in the subject line. Multiple submissions are okay, but send each submission as an individual Microsoft Word document (.docx okay) or PDF email attachment. Deadline to be included in our “Operatic Veils” Issue: The Ides of March, 2011. But as we know the chicanery surrounding the Ides of March, we understand if some people are too superstitious to submit on such an ominous date. Therefore, let it be known that our supposed deadline is merely a suggestive approximation. We will consider any and all late submissions as long as they are not grossly late, but in that case, there's always next issue! We'll post here when we're officially closed for "Operatic Veils" submissions. As we are an aspiring literary journal, we regretfully are unable to pay our authors, but what we lack in cash we make up for in love. We look forward to hearing from you! Sincerely, Catherine Borders, Oleander Underhill, and Lily Robert-Foley Omnia Vanitas Review is always open to submissions of previously unpublished works. Currently, we are an annual publication, but our fingers are crossed for expansion. We are a small operation, and will do our best to respond to you promptly.
