SUMMARY:N - HerStry Seeks Submissions With the Theme of Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:HerStry centers the experiences of women identifying persons. We’re looking for work from bigender/polygender persons\, cisgender women\, intergender persons/intersex persons\, non-binary persons/gender non-conforming persons\, transgender women/transfeminine persons\, two-spirit. In other words\,  if you are a cis man\, please refrain from submitting. \nMental health and all the struggles that come with it are more and more becoming part of the mainstream; nevertheless\, sometimes the personal  stories\, the struggles and triumphs that come with taking care of ourselves\, don’t make it into the general lexicon. In March\, we’re asking for your stories about what it’s really like to take care of your mental health in today’s world.\n** HerStry is always happy to share stories anonymously—if your story is selected for publication\, simply let your editor know you would not like your name shared **\nThe Rules: \n\nAll stories must be true and about you.\nStories must follow the theme in some way\, interpretations can be wide.\nStories must stay between 500–3\,000 words.\nDocuments should be double spaced\, 12Pt font with 1 inch margins.\nSubmissions must be in .doc or .docx form—we do not accept PDFs.\nPlease do not put your name on your manuscript. We realize in personal essays\, the author’s name often comes up\, so just use your best discretion.\nPlease include a third person bio. Cover letters are fine\, but not necessary (we don’t read them\, we’re more interested in what you’ve written).\nPlease submit only once per theme.\nWe do not accept previously published stories.\n\n$3 submission fee goes toward keeping HerStry sustainable. All accepted pieces receive $20 payment.

SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submission for The First Line.  Theme: "I Am the Second Mrs. Roberts"
DESCRIPTION:We love that writers around the world are inspired by our first lines\, and we know that not every story will be sent to us. However\, we ask that you do not submit stories starting with our first lines to other journals (or post them online on public sites) until we’ve notified you as to our decision (usually four weeks after the deadline). When the entire premise of the publication revolves around one sentence\, we don’t want it to look as if we stole that sentence from another writer. If you have questions\, feel free to drop us a line. \nAlso\, we understand that writers may add our first line to a story they are currently working on or have already completed\, and that’s cool. But please do not add our first line to a previously published story and submit it to us. We do not accept previously published stories\, even if they have been repurposed for our first lines. And\, just to be clear\, we do not accept simultaneous submissions. \nOne more thing while I’ve got you here: Writers compete against one another for magazine space\, so\, technically\, every literary magazine is running a contest. There are\, however\, literary magazines that run traditional contests\, where they charge entry fees and rank the winners. We do not – nor will we ever – charge a submission fee\, nor do we rank our stories in order of importance. Occasionally\, we run contests to help come up with new first lines\, or we run fun\, gimmicky competitions for free stuff\, but the actual journal is not a contest in the traditional sense. \nFiction: All stories must be written with the first line provided. The line cannot be altered in any way\, unless otherwise noted by the editors. The story should be between 300 and 5\,000 words (this is more like a guideline and not a hard-and-fast rule; going over or under the word count won’t get your story tossed from the slush pile). The sentences can be found on the home page of The First Line’s website\, as well as in the prior issue. Note: We are open to all genres. We try to make TFL as eclectic as possible. \nPoetry: We do accept poetry\, though rarely. We have no restrictions on form or line count\, but all poems must begin with the first line provided. The line cannot be altered in any way. \nNon-Fiction: 500-800 word critical essays about your favorite first line from a literary work.\n \nAll Submissions: Writers should include a two- to three-sentence biography of themselves that we can use in the journal should your story\, poem\, or essay be accepted. \nMultiple Submissions: We don’t mind if you want to submit multiple submissions for the same issue. However\, it is unlikely we will use more than one of your stories or poems in the same issue. \nFour-Part Stories: If you think you are up to the challenge\, you can write a four-part story that uses the spring\, summer\, fall\, and winter sentences (five parts\, if you are brave enough to include a fifth story that ends with the last line). However\, all parts must be submitted at once (a single e-mail or snail mail) before the February 1st deadline. (If selected\, each part will be published in its respective issue.) \nSubmissions: We prefer you send manuscripts via email to submission (@) thefirstline (dot) com. We accept stories in MS Word or Word Perfect format (we prefer attachments). Please do not send pdf versions of your story or links to Google docs. Make sure your name and contact information\, as well as your bio\, are part of the attachment. Stories also can be sent to The First Line‘s post office box. No manuscripts will be returned without an accompanying SASE with sufficient return postage. Here is the submission schedule for 2022:
