Deadline has passed for issue #8

Please check back soon for more details on the Magic, Myth & Ritual issue, due Fall/Winter 09.

THIS EVERYDAY is the theme for the Spring/Summer 2009 issue.  The deadline is April 3, 2009.
We’re looking for work that addresses little things and their big impacts- the phenomenology of daily life, the role of the routine, and the portraits of the day-to-day. Your suggestions - by way of your submissions - always help create the bigger picture. As always, quality of work is the first consideration.

Please upload your work to the online database, rather than sending a hard copy. It’s very helpful and environmentally friendly.

One submission per individual, please.

Thank you so much.

We are calling for essay, fiction, and poetry pieces that are both entertaining and artistically interesting. This magazine seeks to expand upon the Chicago tradition of informative and innovative writing, while also examining current styles and textures.

MAKE is seeking writers and thinkers from every level of experience who have strong, inspired voices, frenetic imaginations, and a sense of humor

Please include a cover page detailing all contact information. 8,000 words is the limit for fiction and nonfiction. Poetry submissions should include 3-5 poems in a single file. 
Simultaneous submissions are fine. Just give us a heads up.

MAKE will be publicized throughout the Chicagoland area and beyond and circulated in magazine format. Payment will be in the form of contributor’s copies. Following publication, there will be publicity opportunities such as readings and music and theater events.

We encourage you to submit using the on-line database, but hard copies are accepted if it’s the only way:
