NEXT DEADLINE: We will be accepting pitches and articles for our summer issue between May 15 - June 15, 2010.
At CR, we're dedicated to good writing, thought provocation, the contribution to and advancement of debate. Whoever, whatever you are. We will not always agree with our contributors, but if their views are conveyed with delicacy and poise, a tolerance that wishes also to speak truth, then we would like to give them forum and send them out into the world.
Please send submissions in unformatted .txt only to editor [at] cosmopolitanreview.com. If your work is of interest, you will receive a reply within two weeks.
Dazzling work, however economic or liberal with words, will always be considered. Include a short biography with a photo in .jpeg format (please look at existing biographies for a template). A C.V. can be useful.
Send everything to editor [at] cosmopolitanreview.com. If your work is of interest, you will usually receive a reply within two weeks.
Submissions are accepted but not limited to the following categories:
Musings is a section of first-person pieces open to columnists and aspiring or beginning writers.
biPOLar is also a first-person section for writers with Polish roots, who grew up outside of Poland. Pieces in this section should be thought-provoking and aim to promote intercultural dialogue and understanding of the richness and complexity of growing up with a hyphenated personality.
History pieces must be grounded in solid facts and knowledge gathered from specialists. Ideally, they should be active pieces, in the sense that the facts presented should help to explain present behavior and solutions for resolving current affairs problems related to Poland.
A few words OR conversations with ... is a Q & A section with a specialist or prominent personality in "things Polish" (history, art, culture, politics, current affairs...). It is a verbatim account of an interview.
Spotlight on alumni is a section featuring the works, achievements, projects and personalities of Poland in the Rockies alumni.
CR recommends ... features events and cultural products (books, magazines, plays...) the editorial team believes to be fabulous.
Books, music and film reviews feature the work of fantastic artists: Polish or doing work related to Poland. Please include the number of pages, editor and ISBN number.
Poetry submissions should be directed to our poetry editor, John Guzlowski - jguzlowski [at] gmail.com.
Travel pieces must be done with a twist. We like something off the beaten path. Innovative. Through the eyes of the locals. Adventurous, spicy, insightful. Absolutely nothing less.
Events focus on hip happenings. Shaken, stirred, and of course, with a zest of "things Polish".
