VAO Publishing invites submissions for a collection of the best Latino/a fiction that both celebrates and complicates the American pastime tentatively entitled ARRIBA BASEBALL! A COLLECTION OF LATINO/A BASEBALL FICTION.
We are seeking such fiction (up to 5,000 words) concerning the game of baseball which challenges any and all exclusionary ideologies that have historically delimited the sport, and that meditates on the Latino/a contributions and experiences both on and off the field of play.
All fiction must be previously unpublished and of literary quality. Translations and works in Spanish will also be considered. We particularly encourage fiction from Latina and LGBT authors.
Contributors will be paid $25 upon acceptance and a percentage of net sales over the first two years.
Please send fiction submissions to vao.submittable.com/submit
Questions or comments may be directed to baseball@vaopublishing.com.
Deadline for submissions is AUGUST 31, 2012.
