Nimrod is currently accepting submissions for two different issues, to be published in spring 2009 and spring 2010. The first deadline will be December 1^st, 2008. The upcoming issues will be:

Climbing Mountains, Finding Pathways: Afghanistan and Pakistan

Mexico: “The Plumed Serpent”

There has never been a more important time to explore these complex, historical, and artistically prolific areas, so we plan to devote an issue to Afghanistan and Pakistan, and a separate issue to Mexico. We are interested in receiving poetry, short stories, personal essays, photographs and interviews by those currently living in Afghanistan, Pakistan, or Mexico (in translation into English), by Afghani, Pakistani, or Mexican residents of the United States and other countries, and by others who write about or from within the culture. Our interest is not limited to any subject or style. Surprise us!

Translations from a foreign language should be accompanied by the original and, when necessary, a release from the author to publish in Nimrod. Nimrod copyrights each issue as a whole and then, on request, is happy to release rights to each author at no cost.

Please mark both the outer envelope and the cover letter with either “Afghanistan/Pakistan issue” or “Mexico issue.”

*As always, we are also accepting general submissions at this time.  Also, we accept submissions for the Nimrod Literary Awards from January 1st to April 30^th of each year.
