We are delighted to announce a call for submissions! poco.lit. is a platform for postcolonial literatures in the widest sense. For our Green Library series<\/a>, we invited writers to speak about their thoughts on writing nature and the environment. As a part of the series, we would like to publish some original, previously unpublished pieces. In line with poco.lit.\u2019s broader aims, we strive to publish lesser-heard voices and perspectives, particularly (but not limited to) those from the global South, Black People, People of Colour and Indigenous writers. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Publication of Works<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We will be publishing between five to ten pieces of original, unpublished writing <\/strong>on our website www.pocolit.com<\/a> until the end of the year. As poco.lit. is a bilingual platform, we invite you to submit writing in either English or German. If selected, your piece will be translated and  published in both languages.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The author of each published piece of work will receive \u20ac 150.00 for a prose piece. <\/strong>You\u2019ll need to be able to issue an invoice and be paid via bank transfer (in Europe) or PayPal.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If published, your submission\u2019s copyright will remain with you. The edited text will be licensed for use on poco.lit.\u2019s website. You\u2019ll be free to re-publish your work in future with credit to poco.lit. for first publication. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
