Call for Submissions for 2012 Anthology

Matrices Press is publishing an anthology of works in 2012. We are now accepting submissions of previously unpublished, original works. Deadline for submissions is Jan 31, 2012.

Matrices begins in math: 
A matrix is an organizational structure in which two or more lines of command, responsibility, or communication may run through the same individual.

This math concept can be applied to culture: 
A concept of multiple matrices, functioning separately (perhaps sustaining one another), but with the same derivatives of one another – interrelated cultural matrices, symmetrical matrices.

We all have different backgrounds – families, cultures, ethnicities, religions / beliefs / non-beliefs, gender identities, physical and other challenges, etc. We are all on similar yet unique journeys as Americans too. We are our own matrices of cultures and journeys and life coming together.

Submission Guidelines:

  •   Poetry: five poems up to 8 pages (no epics please).
  •   Fiction: one short story, or up to three works of flash fiction up to 4,000 words.
  •   Creative nonfiction: one essay or memoir up to 4,000 words.
  •   Short plays or Monologues: 6 pages maximum.
  •   Comics: submit one “graphic narrative” up to 6 pages maximum.
