Two Thirds North

About

67 members set this magazine as a Favorite.

Two Thirds North is someplace that is not fully there. It is an orientation, somehow suggesting direction but vague enough for us to get lost. Just as Stockholm has been a city of refuge for a diversity of peoples and cultures crossing here at a node of creative focus, the annual Two Thirds North anthologies allow radians of new world literature in English and translation to cross and diverge. Here is a mixture of identities, nationalities and conditions of existence, neither fully one thing nor another, and many of us write out of that fractionality. Two Thirds North does not have a political or literary manifesto, but it does have a belief in the power of the story, the poem, and visual art to describe, illuminate and make real.

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. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • 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.
