N – Dorothy Parker’s Ashes Seeking Submissions on the Theme of: The Cops
October 1 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Submissions are restricted to women and gender non-conforming people.
Submit.
Please submit first-person essays* anytime before the deadline prior to publication date. Please be advised that we reserve the right to edit, though all edits will be sent to writer before publication for approval. Please feel free to include a suggested title and art but we reserve the right to change the title and choose the art. We do consider previously published essays, taking into consideration venue, date, etc.
Although the essay holds the central role at DPA, we are open to other genres, including experimental, poetry and flash non-fiction, as long as there is a first-person point of view.
All rights are non-exclusive. We do not currently offer payment. We accept no responsibility for anything from libel to hurt feelings. As Anne Lamott says, “You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should’ve behaved better.”
Preferred length. 500 to 2000 words.
Please send submissions along with a short bio pasted directly into your email to: info@dorothyparkersashes.com We ask for this to avoid potentially malware-laden attachments. Unless your formatting is a specific design element of your piece, format should be single space with no paragraph indentation and one extra space between paragraphs.
