Dear Colleagues:

I am pleased to announce the launch of a new online magazine. Please  
take a look at it:

www.nativeliteratures.com

Its purpose and general submission guidelines are below. Please share  
this information with as many people as you can. Much of the site is  
open to the public. For those who wish to become members, there is a  
premium subscription with an initial, first-year donation of $7 for  
one month or $25 for a year (four issues) with full access to the core  
content.

Native Literatures: Generations

Publishing literature of substance and consequence

Our Purpose

NLG is dedicated to providing a global forum for original works of  
literature by writers from the indigenous nations of North America and  
Hawai’i. Our goal is to support writers in their endeavors by offering  
a venue linking them with new audiences and potential publishers.  
Moreover, our magazine is designed to generate funds to provide  
financial support for writers through scholarships for their studies  
or for specific writing projects.

NLG is a quarterly, with content accessible online for three months  
with rights reverting to authors thereafter.

Submissions:

  NLG is seeking original, unpublished works by writers from the  
indigenous nations of North America and Hawai’i. We publish in all  
genres: poetry, fiction (short stories but also novel excerpts if  
self-contained), creative nonfiction, drama and mixed-genre/media. We  
are seeking works that extend this body of literature by avoiding  
cliché and trite conventions through risk-taking and experimentation,  
but also through distinctive and engaging voices, exciting and  
innovative approaches. For full submission guidelines, please visit  
our website. For information, contact info at nativeliteratures.com or  
submissions at nativeliteratures.com

We also accept interviews and reviews, but we do not publish literary  
criticism.
