About me:
Conclave is annual print journal that focuses on character-driven writing and photography. We hope to share with you our delight in well-told stories: stories that make you laugh, think, feel, or remember. We hope that our stories challenge and entertain, but most of all, we hope they introduce you to unforgettable characters that stay with you long after you've finished reading.

Who I'd like to meet:
Writers, photographers, agents, publishers, and people who love books and the Arts.
Conclave seeks writing that centers around well-crafted characters—complex and authentic: like Leopold Bloom, Huckleberry Finn, Anna Karenina, Hamlet, Miss Havisham, Hannibal Lecter, Hester Prynne, and others. Whether you love them or hate them, these characters are unforgettable and infuse their stories with life beyond the page. Those are the kinds of enduring characters we'd like to have populate the artfully crafted stories in Conclave.
To submit your writing, please go to:
http://www.conclavejournal.com/submissions/online_submit/submit.html
We seek photos of pristine composition and revelatory content, black and white photographs that evoke personality, an unforgettable story, a compelling emotion, the decisive moment.
The photographs of Henri Cartier-Bresson, father of modern photojournalism, captured characters. When speaking of Martin Munkácsi's photo, Three Boys at Lake Tanganyika, Cartier-Bresson said, "I suddenly understood that photography can fix eternity in a moment."
The photographs should appear to be candid and generally have the background in focus. We are not looking for posed photographs or photographs that have been significantly photoshopped. It is our hope that the photographs we print will transcend mere portraits or snapshots; they should reflect the style and sensibility of Cartier-Bresson's work.
We are a character-focused journal, and we want the photographs that we feature to reflect that sensibility. Clearly, there are other styles and methods for capturing character in photography, and we look forward to seeing your interpretations. Like Cartier-Bresson, we are looking to capture, "fixed eternity in a moment."
You can either submit your photographs through our online submission manager, or you can post your photographs on our flickr site: www.flickr.com/groups/conclave2008
