Cutthroat Anthology of Contemporary Chicanx Writers

A project of Cutthroat (see other related projects).

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (October 2018). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

We are seeking submissions of poetry, short stories and essays for an anthology of Contemporary Chicanx Writing. For this anthology we are looking for Chicanx writers, from the rasquache to the refined. We want writing that goes deep into the culture and reveals our heritage in new ways. We want experiences, from blue collar gigs to going into higher education and pursuing PhDs. We want work that challenges. That is irreverent. That is both defiant and inventive. That is well-crafted. That is puro Chicanx. Send your best writing.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
