SUMMARY:PFN - Please See Me Seeking Submissions Regarding: What If?
DESCRIPTION:We are Open for Submissions\nfor the Spring 2025 Issue #16 – What if?\n\nGeneral Guidelines\nWe seek previously unpublished\, creative\, and high-quality work in the form of poetry\, creative nonfiction/essays\, and fiction/short stories/flash fiction. Patients\, students\, family members\, caregivers\, nurses\, physicians\, healthcare consumers\, artists\, mental health providers\, physical therapists\, writers\, clergy—all of us will be patients one day and all are welcome to submit work. We are especially looking for content from vulnerable populations and those who care for them; content that connects us with every community\, makes us feel something\, helps us see illness\, wellness\, health\, or the healthcare environment differently\, and inspires equality in healthcare and the world. \n\nTheme Guidelines: What if?\nIn September of 2024\, I attended the Patients for Patient Safety World Patient Safety Day in Washington DC. This dedicated group of patient advocates and activists are working hard to push policy and change forward that protects patients and providers in our US healthcare system. The organization created a short video entitled What if? capturing personal stories highlighting how their health outcomes and lives were affected by healthcare systems that failed to deliver the appropriate care\, and which inspires the theme for 2025 Issue #16. \n\nWhat is your “What if?” or “If only…” related to your health-related stories.\n\nWhat if you had asked the next question of your provider even as their back was turned and walking out the door?\nWhat if you had taken the extra moment with a patient and not missed that diagnosis?\nWhat if you had asked for help in your third year of medical school? In residency?\nWhat if you had spoken up when you witnessed bullying or inappropriate leadership?\nWhat if you had told your partner you loved them before they left for work?\nWhat if you shared the joy you experienced when care did go as planned?\n\n\nThe canvas here is wide and deep and the theme is a jumping off point. Paint with the words and images that ring true to you! We look forward to seeing what our audience of writers\, patients\, physicians\, psychologists\, patient advocates\, artists\, and healthcare consumers have to say! Every one of your stories matter to us. We are listening! \nGenre Guidelines\nPoetry\nPlease submit a maximum of three poems at a time. If you submit more than three\, we can only read the first three. \nFiction\nPlease submit short stories no more than 4\,000 words in length. Flash fiction\, up to 1\,000 words\, is welcome and encouraged. Submissions should be double-spaced in 12pt Times Roman or other serif font with 1″ margins. We will look at excepts of longer works on a case-by-case basis; please query us with a description of your project before submitting if greater than 4\,000 words. \nCreative Nonfiction\nPlease submit nonfiction pieces no more than 4\,000 words in length. Submissions should be double-spaced in 12pt Times Roman or other serif font with 1″ margins. We will look at excepts of longer works on a case-by-case basis; please query us with a description of your project before submitting if longer than 4\,000 words.
