CALL FOR
SPECIAL FEATURES

Beginning in issue 3.4 (fall 2025), ballast will periodically post a call for special features for upcoming work.

For this first special feature call, we’re looking for what we’re referring to as “remarks”—critical/academic essays that, for issue 3.4, explore and interrogate aesthetic/literary modernism.

We plan to include a portfolio of such writing in our fall 2025 issue, so we are open NOW until September 21 for consideration!

And, as always, for all other ballast submissions, we’re always free and always open
