FOR WRITERS ONLY ~
Markets related to the Iberian Peninsula

We at Margin recognize that finding homes for magical realist writing can be challenging. Is your work literary? Mainstream? Genre? This edition's For Writers Only highlights several Iberian-themed writer's markets which have published magical realist writing.

We ask that you study publisher's guidelines very closely before submitting, and that you honor them to the letter. It helps to review sample copies of the magazine first, or to read samples of work online, when available. Studying your markets is one of the most effective ways to find homes for your work.

We wish all writers of magical realist the best of luck with their publishing goals. -- TKS, Margin

From an interview with TBR Editor Jill Adams in WebDelSol: "Quite simply, since the net offers us a global readership, our aim is to present the best fiction we can find internationally; by offering translations—from English to Spanish or Catalan, for example, or vice versa; as well as other languages—that broadens our scope, and that's our edge, I think."

GUERNICA: A Magazine of Art and Politics
c/o City College
English Department
Attn: Michael Archer
160 Convent Avenue
New York, NY 10031
guernicamag @ fordham.edu
http://www.guernicamag.com

From their letter from the editor, dated Oct 2004: "Guernica: a Magazine of Art and Politics offers a quarterly blend of politics, good old-fashioned internationalism, and the arts. The launch date of our first issue is October 25, a day which marks the illustrious birth of Pablo Picasso in 1881. Our name also holds a significance beyond the obvious. Of course, there's Picasso's famous painting invoking, commemorating and lamenting a brutal and unnecessary massacre in a historic Basque city during the Spanish Civil War. Guernica is, in this sense, a crossroads where our interests — politics, international affairs, and the arts — all bled together both in the event itself and in the Cubist master's bizarrely moving black, white and gray response."
