hello!
Thanks for signing up to Fortified! As well as the infrequent bulletin from different kitchens that is the Fortified Gazette, you’ll receive updates such as this one on the print journal.
We’re seeking proposals of writing for inclusion in Issue 3 of Fortified. These proposals should be a maximum of 200 words. Proposed texts could be very short or up to 2000 words. There is no set brief and the writing can be in any form (fiction, non-fiction, prose, poem, song, anything else).
Currently we’re unable to pay contributors. If selected, you’ll receive editorial support with your text as well as a copy of the publication.
Please send proposals, and any questions, to contactfortified@gmail.com by 6th September, at midnight in your time zone.
what fortified is/wants to be:
Fortified seeks to be a space for expansive writing about food, its production, cooking, eating, sharing. Fortified was created and edited by Sinae Park, who is now joined by Kate Morgan as co-editor. We’re really keen to support and help develop food-adjacent writing that is unwieldy, enthusiastic, demanding, soft, generous, untidy. As editors, we would like to bring such work together in common space, creating new untidy larger amorphous entities.
There is no set brief for this issue as we’d like it to be shaped by contributions. To hear more about some of our areas of interest, watch the IG live where we were in conversation at Sinae’s exhibition ‘Artichoke.’ Previous issues of Fortified can be seen here.
