Announcing 2016-17 Guest Editors and Theme

July 2016.

Hello readers and writers. First off, we want to extend a special invitation: please submit for our upcoming print issue. Hunger Mountain 21: Masked/Unmasked will be out in February. We need your brilliant work now. We’re looking for poetry, children’s lit, fiction, and creative nonfiction. The theme, Masked/Unmasked, can be interpreted in myriad ways–don’t worry about being literal; we want to be surprised at how you explore masks and unmasking. Please do submit your poetry, fiction, CNF, and Children’s Lit to us. Submissions close in September, so now’s the time. You can start the submissions process here.

We’re also so excited to announce this year’s guest editors. These three writers are creative hurricanes, and Hunger Mountain is so lucky to have them on staff.
