What I especially like about this call for submissions is that the editor included some helpful and specific information about what type of work appeals to him/her:
Call for CREATIVE NONFICTION submissions: Sycamore Review
http://www.sycamorereview.com/submissions/
Sycamore Review is now accepting submissions in CREATIVE NONFICTION using our new online submissions manager. Most of our nonfiction content could be classified as literary memoir or personal essay. Sycamore Review does not publish scholarly articles or journalistic pieces, though we do publish experiential journalism or personal reportage with a memoir bent. We are interested in originality, brevity, significance, strong dialogue, and vivid detail. There is no maximum page count, but remember that the longer the piece is, the more compelling each page must be.
