If you’re a writer, we believe that you should always be submitting to a literary journal. We hope you’ll submit to our online literary journal, Alluvium, but we also hope you’ll submit regularly (weekly, monthly) to other journals as well. To help in that quest, here are several journals we think are terrific, and one tip:
THE JOURNALS
A Shanghai Poetry Zine Publishes quarterly. To submit, email ashanghaipoetryzine@yahoo.com
Chinese Arts & Letters, a literary and academic journal, solicits English-language contributions. Texts not exceeding 10,000 words will be considered, consisting of translations of contemporary Chinese-language literature in any genre, essays on the Chinese arts and letters of any era, and creative writing in any genre about China. Translated texts or inquiries for translations must also submit the original Chinese text, and all translations will be reviewed for accuracy and style. Payment for contributions is RMB .80 per word (contributions) or per Chinese character (translations) before tax. Email chineseartsletters@gmail.com or chineseartsletters@163.com with submissions or inquiries.
