  • Additional info

    Transition does not accept multiple submissions within a four-month period. Within a season, an author may submit one packet of 5-7 poems, 1 short story, 1 essay, or 1 interview. We expect the nonfiction pieces published in Transition to display the virtues of high-quality literary fiction, especially narrative prose, which leads the reader naturally from one sentence to the next. Rich description and attention to voice, tone, imagery, and word choice are all appreciated. We also welcome provocative points of view that stimulate debate. Copies. Transition pays contributors with one print copy of the issue in which their work appears, and the opportunity to reach a broad, international audience.
