Theme: Family - Fiction & Nonfiction
Ends on
Families are an endless source of material. We want buried secrets. We want generational stories. We want stories of betrayal and belonging, of fractures and survival, of losing hope and redemption. At this point in literature, a “normal” family might be the strangest story of all. We want that too. We want your most ambitious writing in its most imaginative form. Whether that’s realism or fantasy, slipstream or traditional, we want to read it. Deadline: 9/15.
Please identify your work as fiction or nonfiction in your cover letter.
