Call for Submissions for Fall 2012 Edition - The Ilanot Review: An Israeli Journal of Creative Writing in English (Israel/ worldwide)
Deadline: 30 October 2012

The Ilanot Review began in 2009 as the literary journal Ilanot, which was created as a forum where students and graduates of the Shaindy Rudoff Graduate Program in Creative Writing at Bar-Ilan University could present their work. In 2011, Ilanot was re-incarnated as The Ilanot Review, a biannual journal of creative writing which publishes a stellar selection of poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and literary interviews. The Ilanot Review is produced by a small and dedicated number of volunteer editors. We publish two themed issues a year, which invite submissions from English language poets and writers from anywhere in the world.

The Ilanot Review is accepting submissions for the Fall 2012 edition. The theme of this edition is Foreign Bodies
