Anyone who self-identifies as Slavic or with a culture/identity typically categorized as Slavic who currently lives in the diaspora is encouraged to submit. This includes but is most certainly not limited to first and second-generation people with Slavic heritage, those adopted out of their home country and raised in a new one, those who never stepped foot in their ancestral homeland but never quite felt at home anywhere else, and others who have something to say about their history, inherited or experienced.
Submission Guidelines
The submission period for volume 2 (to be published in 2020) is currently closed. Gastarbajter accepts artwork, photography (modern and photos of the past), and historical imagery (scans of passports, family trees, letters, etc). In terms of written word, we accept work in any genre, including but not limited to poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and cross-genre/experimental prose. Submissions can be in any language. Those published will receive a contributor's copy of the magazine.
E-mail submissions to [email protected] with the subject line including your first and last name along with the title(s) of the piece(s) you are submitting.
