If you’ve ever seen a print edition of San Antonio Review beyond the first issue, you’ve likely noticed random quotes spread throughout. I’m sure there’s an

industry-standard name for such small items that seemingly ephemerally1 appear in journals, but as I’m a novice at all this and, thus, get to refer to things however I like at least until I try communicating the idea to others, I termed them “Interruptors” because they interrupt what can otherwise be a rather staid flow of text after you get past the art section.

In full sarcasm, I’ll admit it’s fun to be the one to create all this work, given my clearly extraordinary graphic design abilities. In complete seriousness, I stumble through it all, as with most things

in life. Fortunately, it occurred to me that this is another perfect opportunity to highlight and promote others’ work. So, here goes:

Call for Submissions of “Interruptors” for San Antonio Review (Volume V | Summer 2021)

Submissions of black-and-white or grayscale still artworks are sought for publication in the fifth print issue of San Antonio Review due to be released at the end of August.

Artworks should incorporate one or more of the quotations listed here, including source information.

Submissions should follow the usual guidelines at sareview.org/submissions and not exceed six-by-nine inches to accommodate printing.

We look forward to reviewing your work.

Thank you!
