Posted By: Shanda Cooper on November 04, 2005 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.
