SUMMARY:F - Call for Submissions to The Pathfinders Collective’s Anthology\, Clarity: Stories About the Moment that Changed it All
DESCRIPTION:Note: to be fully transparent\, this is an unpaid anthology. 100% of the proceeds will go to Planned Parenthood. \n\n\n\nWe are seeking submissions from storytellers\, both emerging and more established\, for our third and final life-story anthology\, Clarity: Stories About The Moment That Changed It All. The purpose of this anthology is to lift up the voices and shine a light on the talent of the incredible international community of storytellers.  Sad\, funny\, serious and anything in between; we are looking for whatever tone speaks to you. The story must be true\, and it must have happened to you directly. We want to hear your unique point of view. \nWhat kinds of stories are we looking for in Clarity? \nTell us about how you: \n\nfound joy that you thought you had lost\ndiscovered a part of yourself that you didn’t know existed\nfaced up to a truth that you had been avoiding\nlearned something that transformed your life\ntried something new that changed you\n\nAre you new to storytelling/writing? We LOVE newcomers! We are looking for promise over polish and are happy to work with writers to shape their story if it works for our anthology. \nNotes: We love poetry\, but this is not a poetry anthology. We are looking for prose writing only. We also love stories from people who have gone through difficult times. However\, we have a hard and fast rule of stories “from a scar not a wound.” If this story is still happening\, it is important\, but this is not the place for it to be shared. \nSubmission Guidelines  \nDates: All submissions must be in by Monday\, September 18th\, 2023\, by 11:59 PM CST. \nFee: There is no fee to submit a story in response to this call; writers are simply asked to adhere to all of the requirements set out here. \nWord count: Stories must be between 1200 and 1500 words. \nOriginal stories only: The story you submit cannot have been published electronically or in print previously\, including self-published stories or those published on a blog or public forum. See here for guidelines on what counts as “published.” \nNo multiple submissions: Please do not submit more than one story to the anthology. \nPersonal experience only: We only accept stories about your personal experience. We love cultural teachings and family stories that have been passed down. All forms of storytelling are beautiful. However\, we are only looking for your personal experience in this anthology. \nNo simultaneous submissions: Please do not submit the story to any other anthology or magazine while it is being considered for publication in Escape. We will respond to all submissions to the call; if your story is not selected\, you are free to submit your story elsewhere. We don’t want to own your story. We simply want to avoid a lengthy negotiation with another outlet. \nHow to Submit: Email your story in something approximating standard manuscript format to erodgers@pathfinderscollective.org or jkredlo@pathfinderscollective.org.  In the body of the email\, please provide the title of the story\, the word count\, and your name and contact information. Please include a personal biography of 100 words maximum. \nWe will respond to all submissions. If you have not heard back from us within two months after the close of submissions\, or if you have any questions or concerns about the submissions call\, please email erodgers@pathfinderscollective.org or jkredlo@pathfinderscollective.org. \nEmail your story in something approximating standard manuscript format to erodgers@pathfinderscollective.org or jkredlo@pathfinderscollective.org. In the body of the email\, please provide the title of the story\, the word count\, and your name and contact information.

SUMMARY:PN - Call for Submissions to Friends Journal.  Theme: "Stewardship as a Testimony"
DESCRIPTION:In Genesis 2:15 it is said that God put us “into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.” Modern Friends have leaned into the idea of stewardship\, most commonly in the context of earthcare and climate activism. \nThere’s the macro level\, where some of us lobby pressure on businesses and governments to adopt sustainable policies that address the climate emergency. There’s the personal level\, in which we ourselves adopt lifestyles with lower environmental impact. And there’s the community level\, where we bring sustainable practices to our towns and neighborhoods. \nBut we also take care to steward other precious resources such as money\, buildings\, education\, and institutions. We form committees to make decisions about repairing an aging meetinghouse\, consult financial experts about investing wisely and without harm\, and found organizations to provide support to those educating our young people. \nOur December issue will look at Stewardship as a Testimony. Some questions that authors might address: \n\nWhat is the spiritual basis of a testimony for sustainability?\nWhat is the right relationship between humans and the world? What are our responsibilities for caring for the earth and other creatures?\nHow do we use our talents to glorify God’s creations?\nWhat are Friends doing to promote environmentally sustainability\, both on the personal and political level?\nHow are we investing in monetary and concrete resources to ensure long-term sustainability for generations to come? Why are these important to us as Friends?\n\n\nFeatures run 1200-2500 words.
