Welcome to Confrontation Magazine Online!

Confrontation began operation in 1968 with the mission of bringing new talent to light in the shadows cast by well-known authors. Open to all submissions, each issue contains original work by famous and by lesser-known writers.

Among the authors we've published are Nobel prize winners W.H. Auden, John Steinbeck, Derek Walcott, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Joseph Brodsky, Nadine Gordimer, and S.Y. Agnon. Pulitzer and other-prize-winners include Arthur Miller, Ned Rorem, Ed Bullins, Joyce Carol Oates, T.C. Boyle, and Lanford Wilson. We have also published a talented 14-year-old, college students, and other writers beginning their careers. Cynthia Ozick, Paul Theroux, Walter Abish, and Susan Vreeland all published work in the magazine before they achieved wider fame. Confrontation is eclectic; eclecticism is in fact our mission.

NEW!! CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS ON "TRANSFORMATION"
Deadline: June 15, 2010

Because we in the U.S. are living in a time of sudden, surprising transformation, Confrontation is bringing out an issue with a supplement devoted to "transformation." Please submit manuscripts --3 to 4 short poems, a story, a piece of memoir, or an essay-- on this theme. All approaches to "transformation" are welcome, from a focus on a single character, event, object, or metaphor to a take as broad as cultural or political transformation. Send to: Jonna Semeiks, Associate Editor, Confrontation, C.W. Post/Long Island University, Brookville, NY 11548. Deadline: June 15, 2010. Include ATTN: TRANSFORMATION at the bottom of the envelope, and make sure your submission is accompanied by a SASE.

Confrontation is published twice a year, usually in November and late May.
