Hunger Mountain Review Prizes
Hunger Mountain Review seeks to provide a platform for traditionally silenced voices, to expand representation in literature and to examine culture with a critical eye. We pursue this mission through the work we both solicit and select from submissions. We want writing that explores, questions and challenges. We want writing that remains open. We want work that thinks about what it’s trying to do for others and the world.
Writing submitted to us will be thoroughly and open-heartedly read by at least two members of our community, and unlike many literary journals we reserve roughly 50% of each issue for unsolicited work.
We publish fiction, nonfiction, poetry, hybrid work, and translations of all of these forms. We welcome work that is genre-less and the traditional genres some magazines shun—yes, that means we want more speculative fiction! We don’t believe in the divide between literary and genre fiction. We want to read your science fiction, fantasy, magical realism, ecofabulism, irrealism and slipstream.
Entry fees: $20. Deadline June 15, 2022. Prizes in Translation, Short Fiction, Poetry, and Creative Nonfiction.
