Calling: Texts on ESL Writing (Reviews, Interviews, Profiles)

Tint showcases the original work of writers for whom English is a second or non-native language. Submissions for our In Conversation section (reviews, interviews, and profiles focusing on ESL writing) are welcome year-round by writers of all linguistic backgrounds.


Guidelines:

• For review, interview, and profile submissions, please submit one piece between 700 and 1,500 words at a time. It must focus on work by ESL writers or the ESL writers themselves. Accompanying photo material (with source of photo included) is highly appreciated.
• Reviews should discuss original, published work by an ESL author: a novel, short stories, poems, memoir, or other literary creations. Reviews can either focus on one or multiple pieces.
• Interviews should be submitted in the form of a Q&A and should be conducted with a published ESL writer. They can include comments of the interviewer about surroundings, situation, and anything else. ESL writing does not have to be the focus of the interview.
• Profiles should focus on one published ESL writer. The goal of profiles is to portray the life and work of the writer in question and give our readers a good understanding of the writer. As with interviews, profiles do not have to focus on ESL writing exclusively.
• We also welcome text types besides reviews, interviews and profiles if they are on ESL writing. Be creative!
• We can remunerate In Conversation contributers with € 25,- per published text, two Tint Journal bookmarks of your choosing, access to all full-length audios and assistance in claiming a free press copy from the publisher (in the case of a review). 
• Please contact our In Conversation editors Andrea and Chiara at inconversation@tintjournal.com for further inquiries.

If this form of submission represents an obstacle to the writer, please contact the journal at info@tintjournal.com.


Submissions which do not follow these guidelines will not be considered. Accepted submissions will be edited for clarity and content in consultation with the writer.
