Special Issue: Weather Reports: All About the Weather
(Free Submissions; All Submissions through Submittable)
Until January 10, 2017, we will be open to non-contest submissions on this special issue topic through Submittable*. This double issue will be published and mailed out to subscribers and contributors in late Summer 2017.
Work submitted should fit the topic of "Weather Reports: All About the Weather." We are open to work that covers any of the many possibilities in how we think about and experience the weather through science, history, popular culture, art, and our own lives.
All submissions should be original, unpublished poetry, fiction, or literary nonfiction in English. Please inquire before submitting any translations. Please limit submissions to one longer fiction or literary nonfiction piece (six pages or more) or two shorter prose pieces; poets should limit submissions to six poems and no more than ten pages of work overall. If a writer submits more than one piece of work and needs to withdraw part of the submission, please request to edit your Submittable submission and remove the piece or pieces no longer available. Please use the proper genre category for your submission.
We will be reading submissions throughout and hope to complete the editorial work on the issue by the end of February 2017. Writers whose work is selected will receive $25 (US) per magazine page ($50 minimum for poetry; $100 minimum for prose) and two copies of the issue.
This will be the final time for submissions to a print edition of CRAB ORCHARD REVIEW.
We just completed our last Special Issue Feature Awards, and we have named the genre winners and made our decisions on the other contest entries for acceptance in the double issue. Thanks again to everyone who entered the Special Issue Feature Awards competition for giving CRAB ORCHARD REVIEW the opportunity to read your work and consider it.
Here are the winners of the COR Special Issue Feature Awards in Poetry, Fiction, and Literary Nonfiction:
In poetry, our winner is Frank Paino of Berea, Ohio, for his poem “Skeleton Lake.”
In fiction, the winner is Susan Finch of Nashville, Tennessee, for her story “Everybody Has a Flood Story.”
In literary nonfiction, the winner is Rachael Peckham of Huntington, West Virginia, for her nonfiction piece “In Patches: Of Fog and Flying.”
Each of these genre winners will receive $2,000.00 and publication in the final print issue of CRAB ORCHARD REVIEW in August 2017.
