Staging Style

Introducing Staging Style: A Quarterly Online Craft Series

Marked by our dedication to inclusive excellence, this new craft series will function as a learning resource for all and another extension of our commitment to creating new literary legacies.

Staging Style will present innovative writers, translators, and critics articulating the influences and impulses that have sharpened their thinking and writing minds. We are seeking brief essays, 900 to 2,000 words, that trouble the conventional prescriptiveness of “craft” and instead illuminate the infinite possibilities beneath questions of style, time, sound, form, voice, character, image, setting, risk, genre, etc.

Please include a brief bio (no more than 150 words) in your cover letter. 

Submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis starting Friday, January 10, 2025. If your work is accepted for publication, you will receive a one-year subscription to NER (or a subscription renewal for current subscribers) plus a payment of $100.
