From the Databases
amphibi.us
amphibi.us is looking for inventive, incendiary fiction, prose and poetry that lights everyone's eyes on fire. We want the stuff that you couldn't stop yourself from writing, the stuff that your mother told you was not poetry. We want the clean stuff, the dirty stuff, and everything in between. We update (nearly) daily, established and unknown writers alike.
Asymptote
Asymptote is an exciting new international journal dedicated to literary translation and bringing together in one place the best in contemporary writing. We are interested in encounters between languages and the consequences of these encounters. Though a translation may never fully replicate the original in effect (thus our name, “asymptote”: the dotted line on a graph that a mathematical function may tend towards but never reach), it is in itself an act of creation.
Headmaster
Headmaster, the biannual art magazine for man-lovers, is published twice a year in an edition of 1,000. All work in Headmaster is assigned by the editors. Writers and artists interested in receiving homework assignment from the editors should submit a bio and writing samples via email. Headmaster publishes roughly five text-based pieces per year. Work published in the first two issues of Headmaster include erotica, film criticism, travel writing and memoir. The editors of Headmaster are interested in other forms of writing as well.
Languageandculture.net
Study of languages fosters an increased understanding of
tradition. Knowledge in turn will bring an appreciation that
you've taken the time to learn about different cultures. In your
travels and at home, sharing interests in language and its literature
will deepen the perception of cultural values and strengthen
communication.
