The Small Axe Project is developing a section of the Small Axe website (www.smallaxe.net) dedicated to literary discussions, interviews with Caribbean writers, reviews of new publications (creative and scholarly) related to the Caribbean, and short pieces by emerging and established Caribbean writers. The Small Axe literary salon is intended primarily to provide a wide variety of up-to-date information for those with an interest in Caribbean literature in particular and Caribbean Studies in general. The platform is expected to be completed and launched by the end of June 2010.
The editors invite short reviews of recent creative literary works by Caribbean authors (750-1,000 words); short reviews of recent scholarly works related to Caribbean literary studies (750-1,000 words); and short interviews with Caribbean authors and/or literary scholars (2,000-2,500 words). The Small Axe Project will be accepting submissions on a rolling basis, but would prefer a selection by March 15, 2010 for the initial launch.
Initiated in 1997 as an independent journal of Caribbean studies, Small Axe publishes scholarly articles, interviews, short fiction, poetry, book discussions, and visual art projects.
Please send review/interview inquiries and submissions to managing editor Kelly Baker Josephs at kbj@smallaxe.net
