Oyster River Pages: Call for submissions for 2024 Special Issue
Deadline: Mon 25 Nov 2024
Oyster River Pages is an American online literary journal. For this special issue, we're looking for works of short, flash, or micro-fiction and creative nonfiction on the theme of “aperture.”

In photography, the aperture is the space through which light enters the camera. In architecture, apertures are commonly windows or doors: points of access or boundary between the interior and exterior spaces. An aperture can be a point of connection, or control. It can be an opening, a gap, a portal, or chasm. An aperture can be a wound. A point of entry, or of no return.

In fiction, we're looking for braided flash or micro snapshots, surrealist, realist, magically realist, speculative, or even auto-fiction; fiction encountering the aperture of the void, fiction exploring grief, or borders, or time travel, or birth. Fiction examining the artist, the photographer, the painter.

In creative nonfiction, we’re looking for lyric essays as snapshots, or memoirs as explorations of experience oriented around a single entry point. We’re looking for hybrid works, works of ekphrasis, essays, and more. Wildly creative interpretations of the theme of “aperture” are welcome, as are the explicitly literal – send us your discoveries, musings, glimpses, and memories as stories.
