Subject: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Growing Up Girl: An Anthology

CALL FOR SUBMISSION


The GirlChild Press Project

(funded in part by the Prince George’s County Arts Council)

presents:

Growing Up Girl: An Anthology of Voices from Marginalized Spaces
Edited by: Michelle Sewell


The anthology will feature a collection of poems, essays, and short stories from girls and women (under 30). The project is designed to give a voice to those underserved and under-represented.

Work is especially welcomed from individuals who are:

of color;
with disabilities;
queer;
incarcerated;
survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse/assault;
in foster care, shelters, group homes, alternative schools; and/or
in depressed geographical areas.

We welcome the exploration of:

triumph;
transformation;
struggle;
reconciliation;
retreat; and
loss.



The anthology is open to any subject matter. Nothing will be censored! Any story/poem/essay that deals with the transition from girl to woman (on whatever path to whatever goal) will be given full consideration. Fiction, nonfiction, sci-fi, memoir, etc – is all fair game. You are the author – tell the story that you want to tell.

Individuals may submit up to three pieces (short stories/essays no more than 3,000 words) to girlchildpress@aol.com (electronic submissions only).

Submission Deadline: January 18, 2006

Authors should also include bio and contact information.

Contributors will receive a copy of the anthology and will be invited to participate in the public reading in Spring 2006.
