Specs is a journal of contemporary culture and arts at Rollins College. Specs aims to create sympathetic interfaces between artistic and critical practices.

The editors invite submissions of critical and/or creative work for the Fall 2008 print and web issue. We seek works of fiction, non-fiction, cultural criticism, artwork, poetry,and pieces that blur genre boundaries.

The editorial board consists of writers and academics from various fields. The editors are excited by specialty, an excess of detail, fragments, narratives, meta-narratives, and more.

We encourage submissions of 300-word abstracts/proposals by December 1, 2007. Articles will be peer reviewed.

Please limit submissions to 6000 words. The final deadline for critical submissions is February 5, 2008.

The editors are particularly interested in works that examine contemporary culture and/or cross the critical/creative divide.

Email submissions as word attachments to editors@specsjournal.org.

Remember to include a brief cover letter indicating whether you wish to be considered for the print edition, the web edition, or both. Please also indicate the type/genre of submission in the subject heading (Cultural Criticism).

In ONE/OFF, a special section of Specs, we are seeking one-page works that force interactions between the print and web edition.
