storySouth - Nonfiction (Fiction) (Poetry)



Description
Limited Demographic: writers from the "new south" by whatever definition you use

storySouth is interested in all types of fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry by writers from the new south. The exact definition of “new south” varies from person to person—if you can make a case for why you consider yourself part of the new south, then submit your work. storySouth seeks works representing the entire range of southern experience—including all races, genders, and views on life. However, excellence in writing is the only criterion used in choosing works to publish in storySouth.
Works submitted to storySouth don’t have to be set within the south. A writer who was raised in the south but now lives elsewhere has as valid a view of the south as someone who just moved to Alabama. Please note, though, that storySouth has no interest in writings that merely muck around in old stereotypes and cliches of the south. Bring something new to your writings about the south and we will be interested.
