CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
The Monthly is now accepting personal essays (non-fiction, first-person prose) of up to 900 words for possible publication in our summer literary issue. The theme:
What you don’t see
A distinct, compelling voice is what we’re after here. We favor the specific and personal over the vague and general, and request that you not use the phrase “What you don’t see.” Also, please be aware that as a regional magazine, we prioritize submissions from those who live or work in the East Bay.
To submit, paste the essay into your email to editorial@themonthly.com and attach as a Word document (“.doc,” not “.docx” file). You must include your name, email address, and phone number in the body of your email and at the top of your essay document. Deadline: Thursday, April 12.
