SUBMISSIONS

The Sancho Panza Literary Society is pleased to announce a new call to submissions for its associated journal, New Square. We publish fiction, poetry, commentary/essay, obituary, and film, book, and music reviews, and the journal is released bi-annually. Submitters need not worry about fitting themselves into niches or conforming their writing to preordained or manufactured subcategories; we are looking for pathos, and will publish talent in all its forms. The Fall issue will be released, both in print and digitally, on December 15. We will consider submissions until November 1 for the Fall issue, but we accept submissions year round. The Spring issue goes to print on May 1, and the reading period closes on April 1. Please see the submission guidelines below.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

All submissions should be sent by email to newsquarelit@gmail.com.

The intended section (poetry, fiction, nonfiction/commentary, obituary, film, music, or book review) should be noted in the subject line of the email. Submissions will then be forwarded to the appropriate section editor. All submissions should include a full name and contact info on the first page of the document. Poets may submit up to three poems, and prose submissions should not exceed 5,000 words (they can of course, be far shorter than that). Submissions can be part of a larger work—a novel excerpt for example—but they must be able to be read and understood in isolation. Submissions for the review sections (film, music, book) do not need to be about contemporary works; we’re not limiting the discussion in any way.

Music and Film Review Call to Submissions:

New Square wants your music and film reviews! These do not specifically need to be "reviews", as we accept all ranges of submissions as long as the content is clear and honest. We are looking for pathos, and will publish talent in all its forms.
