Conclave: A Journal of Character is accepting submissions for its inaugural issue, Fall 2008.
We will accept submissions from April 1-July 1, 2008.
www.conclavejournal.com
Conclave is an annual print journal that focuses on character-driven writing in short stories, flash fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and prose poems; we also print black and white photographs, and excerpts from plays: monologues, scenes, single acts, or one-act plays.
Conclave seeks writing that centers around well-crafted characters—complex and authentic: like Leopold Bloom, Huckleberry Finn, Anna Karenina, Hamlet, Miss Havisham, Hannibal Lecter, Hester Prynne, and others. Whether you love them or hate them, these characters are unforgettable and infuse their stories with life beyond the page. Those are the kinds of enduring characters we'd like to have populate the artfully crafted stories in Conclave.
For more information, see submission guidelines on our Web site.
Thank you.

Thu, April 24, 2008 - 4:29 PMGreat question!
We're looking for poetry and prose poems that are somehow an expression/exploration of character: perhaps the poem has a compelling voice or captures an unforgettable persona. But they don't have to be strictly persona poems or narrative. We'd like to see what you come up with as an expression of character in poetry.
Whether it be formal or free verse, first person or third, we're looking for poems that are grounded in the human experience, rather than overly clever abstractions or experimental linguistic exercises. Those poems have their place, but not in Conclave.
I hope that helps? -
