Golden Walkman Magazine Includes Camille Wanliss Among 2021 Guest Editors

Golden Walkman Magazine is a literary magazine in the form of a podcast aimed at giving the written word a voice. Each month, Golden will release an issue featuring work in response to a specific theme alongside general issues. A different guest editor will choose each month's theme and curate the work featured.

I’m pleased to announce that I’m among Golden’s roster of guest editors for 2021! Special thanks to editor David G. Walker and past guest editor Trish Hopkinson.

As the April Guest Editor, I’ve chosen the theme “Isola.” When translated to English, isola means "island." It's also the root word for isolation. For this issue, Golden will explore what it means to be islanded - geographically and metaphorically. Whether your piece takes place on a tropical island, the isle of Manhattan, or relates to moments of feeling marooned, stranded, and cast adrift, we want to hear from you. We’re accepting poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction (no more than 1,000 words).

See below for guidelines.

GUIDELINES:

  • Send one (1) piece of writing that responds to the monthly theme attached as a Word document or PDF file​.

  • Do NOT submit more than once to a given month, but feel free to submit to multiple months simultaneously.

  • Send all submissions to goldwalkmagATgmailDOTcom with the subject line that appears within your chosen theme's description.

  • Golden Walkman seeks and will prioritize work from underrepresented voices. If you belong to a group that is underrepresented, please put "UnderRep" + "MONTHSub" (ex: UnderRepAugustSub) somewhere in your subject line.

The deadline for the April issue is March 15, 2021.
