What they accept
Asymptote is a journal of literary translation open for regular submissions throughout the year; its fiction call takes one or more works of short fiction or excerpts of a longer work translated into English, up to 5,000 words in total, via Submittable. Each submission costs USD 10 (feedback is available for fiction for an additional USD 6, and submissions are free for writers based in sub-Saharan Africa or translating work from that region); translations must not have been previously published, simultaneous submissions are permitted with notification, outcomes are guaranteed within one month, and the journal does not pay contributors.
