Submissions

Writers

Two Thirds North welcomes unsolicited submissions of fiction, poetry, nonfiction, essays and photography.

Two Thirds North will be published once a year.

We seek work of high literary quality, but otherwise do not have any specific guidelines for style or subject matter. Novel excerpts are acceptable if self-contained. Unsolicited book reviews and criticism are not considered. Translations are welcome if permission has been granted. Please submit the original and the translation with full reference to the first publication.

Send your submission as an attachment, a Word file to submissions@English.su.se. You should also paste a brief biography.

In case your E-mail bounces or you experience other problems, please get in touch with Adnan Mahmutovic at Adnan.Mahmutovic@English.su.se.

Artists

We consider color photos and artwork for the cover while only black&white works works will be included within the volume.

Deadlines

Our reading period is September 15 – December 15. We adhere very strictly to these dates.

Restrictions

Submit one prose piece, review, or essay; or 1-3 poems. Poems should be single-spaced. Prose should be double-spaced. Names in headers. We do like margins to be flushed left instead of justified.

Do not send a second submission until you have heard about the first. Simultaneous submissions to other journals are amenable as long as they are indicated as such and we are notified immediately upon acceptance elsewhere. We do not reprint previously published work unless solicited by our editor-in-chief.

Decision will be finalized in February-March.

Payment

Two Thirds North does not offer payment for publication.

Guest Editor Policy

Guest editors are invited to solicit up to half of their issues, with the other half selected from unsolicited manuscripts screened for them by staff editors. This guest-editor policy is designed to introduce readers to different literary circles and tastes, and to offer a fuller representation of the range and diversity of contemporary letters than would be possible with a single editorship.
