"We’d like to invite editors and writers to participate in our new series on issues and representations of race, class, gender, and sexuality in independent publishing. How do these issues affect you as an literary magazine editor interested in publishing underrepresented communities, or a writer who wants to challenge dominant notions of identity?"

deadline: March 21. There's no entry fee.
Switchback: Minority vs. Majority
"We challenge you to define both minority and majority and to explore what gives one power over the other. How does possession of that power enable artistic endeavors? How does it limit or disengage artistic virility? How does lack of that power disable? How does it inspire?"
