SUMMARY:FN - Call for Submissions to midnight & indigo: celebrating Black women writers. Theme: Music
DESCRIPTION:Are you a Black woman writer with a passion for storytelling and music? We are excited to announce an open call for submissions for short stories and essays inspired by music. \nFrom Saturday mornings hiding under pillows as the sound of Anita Baker creeps under the door…to block parties and BBQs…let’s use music as our creative inspiration! \nIn so many ways\, music is a heartbeat of Black culture\, the soundtrack to our lives\, tied to memories of laughter\, love\, struggle\, and triumph for generations. It’s more than just sound; it shapes our experiences\, tells our stories\, and connects us to our roots. \nMusic has always been a source of inspiration\, healing\, and joy. It’s a force that transcends boundaries and speaks to our souls. Whether it’s the soothing melodies of a lullaby\, the powerful harmonies of a gospel choir\, or the beats that make us dance\, music is intertwined with our personal narratives. \nThis open call invites you to explore and celebrate this connection by sharing your unique stories and essays that use music as a prompt. \nWhat We’re Looking For: \n\nThe Prompt: We’re looking for original\, previously unpublished short stories and essays that use music as a prompt. Your piece can be inspired by anything from a lyric from your favorite song to a song title\, or even a personal memory.\nCreativity:  Be creative\, not prescriptive\, with the prompt and let your creativity shine through\nEngagement: Writing that draws readers in and makes them feel the rhythm of your words\n\nGeneral Guidelines \n\nWord count: Minimum 1\,200. Max: 7\,000\nCompensation: $0.07 per word for Short Stories and $150 for Personal essays. Rate and word count based upon the final\, edited piece. We pay upon publication\nSubmissions should be submitted in proper manuscript format with your name\, email address\, and the story’s total word count on the first page. Click here for an example of proper short story manuscript format\n\nWe accept only previously unpublished work. Responses will be provided by January 31\, 2025.
