LESS THAN A WEEK BEFORE SUBMISSIONS CLOSE EDITION

>What is this?
A brand new literary journal. We are still narrowing down our voice and style, but that's where you can help. We are currently accepting unpublished prose and poetry for Issue #000 Genesis until May 31st.

>Issue #000?
This is a kind of a trial issue. Originally, #000 was going to have published works from established authors, just to demonstrate what an issue would look like.

We decided to let #000 be open for submissions so we could include some original writing.

Starting with #001, we will have much more regular submission and publishing schedules (as well as containing only unpublished works).

>How can I submit?
There are two ways to submit. You can e-mail us at submissions@ideologylit.com or you can use the anonymous submissions form on our website.

We will respond to all submissions.

>What's accepted?
All unpublished poetry and prose. Every issue also has a sort of "competition," centered around the theme. The best submissions that feature this theme will headline each issue. The theme for Issue #000 is "GENESIS." You can read more about the guidelines on our website.

>Is this the first literary journal from /lit/?
No. There's been others in the past, perhaps most notably TAR: The April Reader.

>I'm not interested / stop spamming / this isn't /lit/-related
We're sorry to hear that. All threads on /lit/ will be called "IDEOLOGY: A literary journal" and will be started under this tripcode, so please add that to your spam filter and you won't see us anymore.

Why not a "foreign language" part in the journal, in other languages ? It can be a good idea, no? (with translation, for example)

Seconding this

Something like one or two foreign language pieces per issue would really diversify it

>> No.6613330

>>6612324
I'm not them, but I imagine the issue there would be having enough editors who can actually read through foreign language subscriptions to properly evaluate them.

If this is run by primarily English speaking people, how do you expect them all to automatically be fluent in every possible language or even more than one or two?

>> No.6613349

The idea I had of it was that the writer indeed translates it himself and submits both the original and the translation, and (if it's accepted) both versions will be included

>> No.6613427

>>6613406
What would the point of that be? They still most likely wouldn't be able to evaluate the non-English version and if you know English well enough to translate it why not just write an English submission to begin with?

I'm sure there must be some literary journals out there that handle foreign language submissions but this seems like a really tiny operation that's just starting out so you're expecting way too much from them.

>if you know English well enough to translate it why not just write an English submission to begin with?
Could be worthwhile for readers with an interest in translation or just languages, even if they don't speak the other very well. Still, it's a bit too out-there for them to include specific rules regarding this.

>> No.6614070

>>6612324
>>6612478

We love translations, including English translations of hitherto untranslated works by other authors.

>>6613406

Unfortunately, we remain an English literary journal. If you decide to translate your own foreign language work into English, we will consider it, but we will only publish the English translation. We would be happy to note that it is a translation and indicate/link to the original somewhere else though.

>>6613435

Please relax! If you used the forms on our site, we definitely received your submission. If you e-mailed us, so long as you spelled the address correctly (about@idelogylit.com or submissions@ideologylit.com), we will have received your message.

>shouldn't you send out some arbitrary message saying it was received?

>>6613445
>they were going to implement an automated submission received thing, but I don't know if they actually did yet or not

We will be implementing this for about, submissions, and subscription emails once submissions close for #000. It's a good/standard function that we missed in hindsight.

As far as possible, we try to provide all submissions with substantial thoughts and criticism. This is particularly true as we're starting out and the number of submissions we receive are manageable.

That said, you should not submit something that you are not at least somewhat satisfied with--we are a literary journal, not a critique service.

He clearly intended "They plan on making hundreds of these" as a snide insult to the fact that they probably wont even have a second issue.

But your lack of reading comprehension read it as "Oh no, this guy wants to make hundreds of these" and so drew the incorrect conclusion that her was the creator of the journal.
