For those interested in submitting to Broad Street, here are our future themes for the next year.
Maps & Legends (winter/spring 2015):
Go as far across the globe or into the popular imagination as you dare. Ask how we map humanity, emotion, and the fantasies and fads that seize the world or even a small part of it; explore legends and popular ideas associated with people or places. Submit until September 30, 2014.
Small Things (summer/fall 2015):
We’re interested in miniature objects, things that shouldn’t bother us but do, children, microbes, pets, subatomic particles (e.g., the discovery that quarks have mass). What can we measure? For example, scientists have determined that the internet weighs a grain of sand… and philosophers have forever asked how many angels can dance on a pin… Remember we love micro-essays and poetry too! Submit until March 31, 2015.
Cured (winter/spring 2016):
We can cure meat; we can try to cure disease. There are camps to cure various conditions and predilections that a culture considers disruptive. For this issue we’re interested in medical subjects, yes, but we’d also love to read about how bacon became a condiment and how leatherworkers use their chemicals. Submit until September 30, 2015.
