PF – Open Call to Tales Anthology Series. Theme: Tales from the Kitchen
OPEN CALL: closing Sept 16
Tales from the Kitchen
Editor’s Tip: For much of recorded history, the kitchen has been the center—the heart—of the home. Food can bring people together or tear them apart. Important conversations happen around the kitchen table, kids learn self-sufficiency, and traditions begin in this space.
Edited by Theresa Green
Theresa is looking for well-developed concepts, inviting storytelling, clear description, and an occasional laugh to break the tension. Genre is yours to play with*. Pieces will be reviewed and writers contacted in the order received.
