SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submissions to époque press é-zine. Theme: Belonging
DESCRIPTION:Submissions are now open for our next é-zine theme ‘Belonging’. What does Belonging mean to you? It could be said that having a sense of belonging is one of our most basic needs\, a need for us to feel an affiliation for a particular group\, where we can feel secure\, included\, embraced and welcomed. It is about having an affinity for a place\, a situation or a set of common beliefs. It is something that binds us to other people and places\, fosters loyalty and shapes our own individual identities. But does this sense of belonging originate through self selected mythologising\, selective historical remembrance or blind adherence to what we are told we should believe? What consequences are there for those who do not belong\, for the outsider\, or for those who are desperate to belong and be accepted at all costs? As always the theme is open to interpretation. Submissions will close on 30th June 2024. \nwritten wordWe are open for submissions of poetry\, short stories and short essays. Please submit your work in an attachment to the email as a MS Word Document. Please accompany your submission with a short bio of no more than 100 words telling us a little bit about yourself\, the motivation behind your work and how it aligns to the theme. This can be attached as a separate MS Word Document or within the text of the email. Please email submissions@epoquepress.com and in the subject header state ‘ezine submission’\, name of theme and your name.

SUMMARY:PN - Chicken Soup for the Soul Series Seeking: Cat Stories
DESCRIPTION:Cat Stories\nWe are thrilled to announce that we are now accepting stories for our cat topic book that is to be released in 2025. Because of the popularity of this topic\, we do a new cat book approximately every eighteen months so here is another chance for you to share a story or two about the member of your family who just happens to walk on four feet! \nCats have always been considered companions and playmates that brighten our days and enrich our lives. What would we do without them? They are also wonderful and amazing teachers. The lessons we learn from our feline friends come in all shapes and sizes\, just like they do. Tell us the new thing your feline friend has taught you. How smart she is or how she outsmarted you! How he made you smile. How she “rescued” you after you “rescued” her. How he brought your family closer together\, helped you find love\, inspired you to change something in your human life. How she rules the roost! Stories can be serious or humorous\, or both. We can’t wait to read all the heartwarming\, inspirational\, and hysterical stories you have about your cats. \n***Please note: If you submitted a story or poem for a previous cat book and we DID NOT publish it\, here is your chance to submit it to us again. If you submitted a story and we DID publish it in a previous cat book\, please do not submit it. We will not publish it again. \nHere are a few ideas but we know you will come up with more on your own: \n– How does your cat improve your life?\n– How does your cat warm your heart and make you smile?\n– How did your cat show kindness to a human or another animal?\n– How did your cat teach you to put things in perspective and not take yourself so seriously?\n– How did your cat teach you to forgive and move on?\n– How did your cat teach you to live in the present\, and BE present?\n– The crazy things your cat does\n– The crazy things you do for your cat\n– Has your cat demonstrated a surprising degree of empathy or comprehension of a situation?\n– How did your cat teach you about kindness?\n– Does your cat act a certain way with one family member and a different way with another?\n– Did your cat get lost and\, by some unexplainable miracle\, return home?\n– Has your cat ever done something extremely embarrassing?\n– How did your cat teach you about humor?\n– Did you train him\, or did he train you?\n– Who rescued who?\n– Learning about loyalty and unconditional love\n– My cat seems almost human and can understand the things I’m saying or feeling\n– Does she talk back to you?\n– How my cat picked me\n– How my therapy cat has made a difference\n– How my cat changed my family\n– Your work at a shelter or rescue organization and have great stories from there\nRecipe for a Winning Chicken Soup for the Soul Submission\nA Chicken Soup for the Soul story is an inspirational\, true story about ordinary people having extraordinary experiences. It is a story that opens the heart and rekindles the spirit. It is a simple piece that touches our readers and helps them discover basic principles they can use in their own lives. These stories are personal and often filled with emotion and drama. They are filled with vivid images created by using the five senses. In some stories\, the readers feel that they are actually in the scene with the people. \nChicken Soup for the Soul stories are written in the first person and have a beginning\, middle and an end. The stories often close with a punch\, creating emotion\, rather than simply talking about it. Chicken Soup for the Soul stories have heart\, but also something extra—an element that makes us all feel more hopeful\, more connected\, more thankful\, more passionate and better about life in general. A good story causes tears\, laughter\, goose bumps or any combination of these. \nThe most powerful stories are about people extending themselves\, or performing an act of love\, service or courage for another person. \nGuidelines for a Chicken Soup for the Soul story\n\nTell an exciting\, heartwarming or funny story about something that has happened to you or someone you know. Your story should be written in the first person and should be about yourself or someone close to you.\nTell your story in a way that will make the reader cry\, laugh\, get goose bumps or say “Wow!”\nThe story should start “in the action” and draw in the reader. Do not start your story with an introduction about what you are going to say\, or end with a concluding paragraph about what you just said.\nDon’t be afraid to speak from the heart. Many people tell personal stories for the first time in our books\, and they find it to be a cathartic and productive experience. We do let you use a pen name for your story if you do not want to use your real name.\nDon’t try fancy moves with tenses. Writing in the present tense about something that happened in the past rarely works.\nKeep your story to 1200 words or less. Tighten\, tighten\, tighten!\nYour story must be true. No fiction\, no creative writing.\n\nWhat a Chicken Soup for the Soul story IS NOT:\n\nA sermon\, an essay or eulogy.\nAn “as told to” story written by you for someone else. If you ghost-write a story for someone\, we thank you for helping that person share his or her story. That person’s name will be listed as the author and he or she can acknowledge your help in the bio section.\nA term paper\, thesis\, letter or journal entry.\nAbout politics or controversial issues.\nA biography or testimonial.\nA journalistic article about a third party that reads like a newspaper article.\n\nGuidelines for a Chicken Soup for the Soul poem\n\nWe love poems that tell a story. A Chicken Soup for the Soul poem does the same job as a story. The reader goes away having learned your story\, just through poetry instead of prose.\nWe do not publish poems that do not tell a story.\nWe also do not publish poems that seem overly focused on rhyming and read more like greeting cards.

SUMMARY:PFN - Call for Submissions to Sinister Wisdom: A Multicultural Lesbian Literary & Art Journal. Theme: Mad Dykes\, Queer Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Mad Dykes\, Queer Worlds\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMad Dykes\, Queer Worlds\nEnds on Sun\, Jun 30\, 2024 11:59 PM \nWhat is Madness\, and how do we\, as lesbian/queer creatives\, wield it? Amid much feminist discourse around the figure of the “madwoman\,” mostly as an archetype to be avoided or\, in some instances\, appropriated\, in reaction to rational distress under violently cisheteropatriarchal conditions\, comparatively little discussion has focused on the lived experience of psychiatric survivorship\, iatrogenic harm\, and abuse under the sign of “mental illness” or psychiatric disability. Behind and beyond the figure of the madwoman\, or the specter of “hysteria\,” are the lived (sur)realities of Madpeople of all marginalized genders. \nThis issue of Sinister Wisdom seeks contributions by lesbian\, queer\, and/or trans people self-identified as Mad\, mentally disabled\, and/or psychiatric survivors. Following the portmanteaue coinages “transMad” (Cavar)\, “neuroqueer” (Walker\, Yergeau\, and Michaels-Dillon)\, and “neurotrans” (Smilges)\, Madness and (gender)queerness are deeply entangled and often inextricable from each other\, both as they manifest “inside” us and in our ways of relating to our words\, world(s)\, lovers\, and friends. \nWhat\, who\, and where are Mad dykes\, and how do we find each other in a world increasingly oriented toward cisheteronormative\, whitewashed wellness? What are the legacies and ongoing violences of queer/trans pathologization in our communities and beyond? How do we live as transMad people amid cissexist\, saneist attacks from the reactionary Right? And how do we share\, negotiate\, or conceal our experiences of trauma\, altered realities\, and unfamiliar access needs while also building community? \nPlease submit works of any\, all\, or no genres\, including reviews and interviews\, up to 5\,000 words\, and a short contributor biography between 25 and 125 words. We are also seeking illustrations and photographs (.jpg or .tif files only\, print resolution size at least 300 ppi). Please do not send previously published work.

SUMMARY:F - Necessary Fiction Seeking Stories about: Dangerous Creatures
DESCRIPTION:This October\, we’re publishing spooky stories with the theme “Dangerous Creatures.” As the introduction to Jeffrey Jerome Cohen’s seminal collection Monster Theory states: “We live in a time of monsters.” So send us your monsters—your cryptids\, your undead\, your aliens\, your un-human creatures\, your bodies of difference\, your destroyer of straightforward categories and binaries. Because stories will be published in October\, we ask that you do not send “this politician is a monster”-type of story; take us somewhere deeper and more thought-provoking. \nGuidelines:\nWe accept unpublished fiction up to 3\,000 words only. Simultaneous submissions are fine but multiple submissions are not. Please double space your submission. You can expect to hear back from us no later than mid-August.

SUMMARY:P - Call for Submissions to Codhill Press Guest Editors Series. Theme: Motion and Stillness/Stillness and Motion
DESCRIPTION:For the 2024 submission period\, the theme is: Motion and Stillness/Stillness and Motion. The call looks for books that: start in one realm and end up somewhere else entirely; shift from confusion to understanding; explore the world around us and the movement of necessary change–and/or how we handle the need to pause and examine a world that increasingly spins faster; what we do in the moments after epiphany; the ways in which motion and stillness are inseparable. Importantly\, manuscripts might explore these points on personal\, communal\, national\, and/or global levels. \nGuest editors are selected from past award winners\, and serve a two-year appointment. Robert Krut\, who received the Codhill Award in 2018 for The Now Dark Sky\, Setting Us All on Fire (and subsequently also published Watch Me Trick Ghosts with the press) is currently in his second year\, and will select the manuscript. Also the author of This Is the Ocean and The Spider Sermons\, Krut is a long-time teacher of writing at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. \nKrut expands on the press call by saying\, “Using a themed approach to submissions feels like a different way to find variety of fresh\, unique collections. Last year\, we received countless excellent submissions through this approach\, and I look forward to the work we receive through this new call.” \nSubmission Guidelines for the Codhill Press Guest Editor Series follow: \n\nAll submissions should be made through our submittable page.\nThis series has a reading period\, not a contest/competition. With your submission\, please tell us a little about yourself\, and share how your manuscript connects with the theme.\nManuscripts should be between 48-80 pages long\, not including front matter. Please include a table of contents; an acknowledgments page is welcomed but not required.\nThere is no reading fee for submissions.\nThe press is particularly interested in reading work by writers who have been historically underrepresented in\, and/or marginalized\, by traditional literary institutions.\nWe welcome submissions from both emerging and established writers.\nSubmissions will be accepted between May 1-June 30; the book selection will be announced by September 1\, with publication the following year.\nSimultaneous submissions are accepted; please contact the press immediately if the manuscript is no longer available.\nBooks will be published by Codhill Press and distributed by Codhill and SUNY Press; authors will receive 20 copies of the collection.

SUMMARY:P - The 2024 Frontier Poetry OPEN Prize
DESCRIPTION:In our pursuit to celebrate the outstanding poets of our present times\, Frontier Poetry annually hosts a prize for all poets\, regardless of publication history. We invite you to send your best work to the Frontier OPEN\, our biggest prize of the year! The winning poem will be awarded $5\,000 and publication. \nIn addition to the winner\, nine finalists will also receive an award of $100 each with publication. The Frontier Poetry editorial team will work together to select winners and finalists for this contest. \nWhile we primarily serve as a platform for new and emerging writers\, the OPEN is meant to support and elevate the poetry community as a whole. Every year\, we look forward to this prize\, for which emerging and established poets are considered in equal measure and as a result are often published side by side in Frontier Poetry. We’re excited to read your work! \nGuidelines\n\nSubmissions are open to all poets\, regardless of publication history.\nAs part of our dedication to the pursuit of a more inclusive publishing world\, we offer a free submission window for poets from historically marginalized groups at the beginning of the contest. Please note the portal will close when we hit our cap of fifty submissions; there will be no additional waivers granted.\nDo not include any identifying information in the body of your document.\nSend up to three poems per submission\, for a total of no more than twelve pages.\nFor this contest\, we have no aesthetic or formal requirements and will consider all styles of poetry.\nPlease submit unpublished poems only. Previously published work will be automatically disqualified.\nWork generated by AI will be automatically disqualified.\nWe welcome simultaneous submissions\, but please notify us immediately if your work is accepted elsewhere.\nYou may submit multiple times\, but each submission requires a separate $20 fee.\nPlease include a brief cover letter that includes a short\, third-person bio with your publication history\, if applicable. To safeguard our staff\, please include any necessary content warnings as well.\nSubmissions are open internationally\, to any poet writing in English. Inclusion of other languages is welcome\, as long as the poem is primarily written in English. Some code-switching/meshing is warmly welcomed.\nWinners and finalists will be announced in the fall of 2024.\nPlease do not submit work if you have a close relationship with Frontier’s editors.
