MARKET: When Women Gather
\nEditor: Claudia Moss
\nDeadline: January 11, 2011
\nPayment: $50\/story and 1 copy of the book upon publication<\/p>\n

At some point in life, women have stood in the presence of other women and known authentic power and healing energy and the beauty of the erotic, and as a result of this experience, have been transformed, in some way, into a greater vision of self. The forthcoming anthology, When Women Gather, will depict what this phenomenon feels like, tastes like and looks like, through a range of unique short stories, essays, personal accounts and narrative poetry.<\/p>\n

I am seeking well-written, literary submissions from women young and old, from every corner of the globe, from the published and unpublished. Submissions can be erotic, sensual, romantic, political, spiritual or humorous and fictional or nonfiction. Embrace your imagination.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ponder writing about refugee women and girls banning together in a strange land, a street of women who come together to rid the neighborhood of a crack house, women who pray together in drumming or humming circles to excise the world of negative energy, women who embrace the erotic in the taboo of loving one another, women who must survive in a country where they do not speak the language, refuge women who watch family members extradited back to poverty-stricken or war-torn countries, women who camp under the stars in North Georgia mountains at women\u2019s festivals or women who meet in a nursing home to honor a matriarch. I\u2019m flexible but not taboo friendly, so please no incest, underage characters, or bestiality.<\/p>\n

Stories should be unpublished, between 1,500 and 4,000 words, and submitted as a Word attachment. Two (2) submissions are allowed per writer. Please include a cover letter with a paragraph bio and full contact info (mailing address, phone number, and real name\/pseudonym) when you send your submissions. All submissions that fail to adhere to these directives will be deleted unread.<\/p>\n

Payment will be $50\/story and 1 copy of the book upon publication. Contributors retain the rights to their stories. The editor has the final approval over the manuscript.
\nSend your submissions as a Word document to whenwomengatherbook@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
