Omnia Vanitas Review

Myself and a friend of mine, Ms. Marissa Ayala, have decided to penetrate the literary world with a new lit magazine centered around, through, within literary erotica.

...Omnia Vanitas Review...

Think of us as a delicate mixture of New Narrative, Féminine Écriture, and Clit Lit. Explicit descriptions of sex written in white ink. Deflowering language. The playful touching of intertextuality. Deliberately elusive linguistic weavings. Like legs. Multiple orgasms with multiple climaxes. Words pregnant with child. With quintuplets. Words wet with formlessness. Esoterica. Etcetera.

We were thinking of our first issue as an issue for our talented friends, a space where we could all get published headache free.

So far I’ve been completely blown away by the submissions we’ve received. Completely blown away.

Our first issue’s inspiration, its cynosure, its title is the Invisible Corset. Many of our authors have written or included the corset in some manner. And though we’re unsure if all our issues are going to have a theme, our first certainly does. We will of course accept work with minimal corsetry references, and would love to read works completely devoid of corsets as well. It would go against our principle to be excessively strict.

And, of course, we're a quarterly review, or biannual, we haven't decided which. Which means, there's always next time too.

Because we’re all aspiring writers, therefore sorely lacking necessary funding, Omnia Vanitas will primarily begin as an online literary review, but there will be an option of purchasing printed copies. We’ll just be making them as they’re ordered. That being said, unfortunately we are not going to be able to pay any of our published authors, but this will be a chance for you to get your name out there.

And your name alongside some really talented writers.

And, given the content, I would not mind at all if you wanted to use a pseudonym. I thought about it. Camilla Libretto would’ve been mine. Still might, someday.

We hope to have the site up and running within a month. So the sooner you can get your short stories, or poems, or prose poems, or essays, or love letters, or anything else that might be relevant to us would be lovely. Our limit is about 5,000 words.

And please send all your queries and your submissions to: omnia.vanitas.review@gmail.com

By, near, say August 15.

And please comprise a short bio, whatever you wish, to be included alongside your work, on our site, permanently.

And. Spread the word.

And.

Thank you.
