SUMMARY:F - Call for Submissions to HerStry.  Theme: "Thanks\, I Guess"
DESCRIPTION:HerStry centers the experiences of women identifying persons. We’re looking for work from bigender/polygender persons\, cisgender women\, intergender persons/intersex persons\, nonbinary persons/gender non-conforming persons\, transgender women/transfeminine persons\, two spirit. In other words\, if you are a cis man\, please refrain from submitting. \nIn the US\, November tends to be the month where we talk about thankfulness. But let’s be honest\, Thanksgiving is a holiday with colonialist undertones that is getting harder and harder to celebrate\, at least in its traditional narrative. So let’s talk about things we should be thankful for\, but just aren’t. Or the things people expected us to be thankful for that we simply think\, “Um\, what?” Give us the rude\, the harsh\, the enduring\, the funny. The things that made you say\, “Thanks\, I guess.”\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\nHerStry centers the experiences of women identifying persons.

SUMMARY:F - The Last Line Literary Journal Seeking Submissions Ending with the Line: "Samir was never one to back down from a challenge"
DESCRIPTION:Submission Guidelines\nUpdated November 2\, 2022 \nFiction: All stories must end with the last 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).\n \nAlso\, we understand that writers may add our last line to a story that they are currently working on or have already completed\, and that’s cool. But please do not add our last 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 last lines. Also\, we do not accept simultaneous submissions. \nAll Stories: Writers should include a two- to three-sentence biography of themselves that we can use in the journal should your story be accepted. \nMultiple Submissions: We don’t mind if you want to submit multiple stories for the same issue. However\, it is unlikely we will use more than one of your stories in the same issue. \nSubmissions: We prefer you send manuscripts via email to submission (@) thelastlinejournal (dot) com. We accept stories in MS Word or Word Perfect format (we prefer attachments). Please do not send .pdf versions of your story. Make sure your name and contact information\, as well as your bio\, are part of the attachment. Stories also can be sent to The Last Line‘s post office box (PO Box 250382\, Plano\, TX\, 75025-0382). No manuscripts will be returned without an accompanying SASE with sufficient return postage. The 2023 last line is: \nSamir was never one to back down from a challenge.\nDue date: October 1\, 2023 \nNotification: We don’t make decisions about submissions until after each issue closes. We typically send notices to everyone who submitted within three to four weeks after the issue’s deadline. You can also check the website’s home page for each issue’s production status. \n\n\n\n\nPayment: We pay on publication: $20.00 – $40.00 for fiction (all U.S. dollars). We also send you a copy of the issue in which your piece appears. You’ll receive your money and issue at the same time. \n(Note to our international writers: Postage cost for sending author copies overseas is becoming outrageous\, so we are reducing international author payment by the amount it would cost to send one author copy overseas. However\, if you would like to receive an electronic version of the issue [PDF] instead of a hard copy\, author payment will not be changed.)
