When Women Gather<\/em><\/p>\n

Editor: Claudia Moss<\/p>\n

Publisher: Logical-Lust Press<\/p>\n

Deadline: December 31, 2009<\/p>\n

Payment: $50\/story and 1 copy of the book upon publication<\/p>\n

Everyone—whether female or male—has stood, at some point in his life, in the presence of women and known authentic power and healing energy and the beauty of the erotic, and as a result of this experience, has been transformed, in some way, into a greater vision of self.\u00a0 The forthcoming anthology, When Women Gather,<\/em> will depict what this phenomenon feels like, tastes like and looks like, through a range of unique short stories, essays, personal accounts and poetry.<\/p>\n

I am seeking well-written, literary submissions from women and men, young and old, from every corner of the globe, from the published and unpublished.\u00a0 Although submissions can be erotic, sensual, romantic, political, spiritual or humorous, they must be true.\u00a0 Ponder writing about refugee women and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 camp under the stars in North Georgia mountains at women\u2019s festivals or female family and friends who meet in a nursing home to honor a matriarch. \u00a0I\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Stories should be unpublished, between 1,500 and 4,000 words, and submitted as a Word attachment.\u00a0 Two (2) submissions are allowed per writer.\u00a0 Please include a cover letter with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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Contributors retain the rights to their stories.\u00a0 The publisher has the final approval over the manuscript.<\/p>\n

Send your submissions as a Word document to whenwomengatherbook@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you have any questions about When Women Gather<\/em>, please query whenwomengatherbook@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Deadline: December 31, 2009<\/p>\n

Manuscripts will be accepted on a rolling basis, so writers are encouraged to submit early.\u00a0 Email: whenwomengatherbook@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
