RHUBARB MAGAZINE CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR JEWISH, UKRAINIAN, MENNONITE
SPECIAL ISSUE


Rhubarb magazine is soliciting submissions from writers and artists who self-identify as being of Jewish, Ukrainian, or Mennonite cultural heritage for a special issue to be published in spring 2012. It’s been a century or more since our ancestors came to North America. We share much in our common history: emigration in the face of oppression, pride of community, marginalization within the mainstream. We also acknowledge tensions among our communities. This issue will explore how the writing and art we now make expresses both these commonalities and differences.

GUEST EDITORS:

Myrna Kostash – all non-fiction
Rhea Tregebov – all poetry
Rudy Wiebe – all fiction

There will be some cross-over and communication but the final decision will be made as indicated above.
DEADLINE DATE: December 1, 2011 PUBLICATION DATE March 2012

SUBMISSIONS: Only email submissions for this issue. Attachments accepted in
Word doc or docx, images Tiff or Jpeg. Email all submissions to
venns@mts.net.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

Writing should be clear, stimulating and persuasive without being obviously didactic. Rhubarb publishes poetry of up to 30 lines, creative non-fiction and short fiction of up to 2,500 words and black and white art work including high contrast photographs that reproduce well in the magazine printing process. Some colour images may be used and we will need one for the cover of the issue.

Rhubarb also publishes humour, book reviews, commentary, issues analysis and articles related to the theme.

All submissions should include a short bio and the full name and address of the contributor.
