Call for Submissions from Writers
Prefix Photo encourages submissions of writer's outlines for new critical essays of 3000-4000 words in length, but does not consider completed manuscripts for publication. Outlines should be no more than 250 words in length, and may be supported by one or two previously published texts. Outlines are accepted at any time, but should be submitted at least six months in advance of a projected publication date. If accepted for publication, the deadline for the submission of the completed essay is approximately three months in advance of an issue's release. Prior to publication, writers will be consulted regarding editorial revisions and writer's fee. Please note that, in addition to critical essays, Prefix Photo also reviews proposals for literary features of 600-800 words. Submission materials will not be returned unless accompanied by a self-addressed envelope with return postage or equivalent.
