CONCLAVE
A Journal of Character
from Latin, a room that may be locked up:
com (meaning “with” or “together”)
and clavis (meaning “key”) a gathering;
a private chamber;
Conclave is an annual print journal that focuses on character-driven writing in contemporary writing and photography. Conclave seeks writing that centers around well-crafted and authentic characters: 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 characters that we'd like to have populate the pages of Conclave: A Journal of Character.
