AROHO Looking for Flash up to 500 words
Waves: A Confluence of Women's Voices
If you’re a woman writer or artist,
you’re invited to submit. There are no restrictions as to subject matter
and form (other than the necessary word/line limits). We are open to
all kinds of work. Along with your creative work in any genre, including
artwork, we welcome additional submissions from women who attended the
2015 Retreat Waves Discussion Series, and we’d like to suggest that
anyone who has applied for the Gift of Freedom consider submitting some
portion of her application. Submit thoughtfully, and check our website
for more inspiration as the wave grows.
We
are hoping for a mix of established and new voices for this anthology,
featuring Maxine Hong Kingston. Hear more about Diane Gilliam's vision
as editor here. You
may submit unpublished or previously published work. If you are
submitting we would be glad for you to invite women writers who have
been your teachers and mentors to submit. And in order to find those new
voices, we’d also be glad for you to invite your students and women you
are mentoring to submit.
As far as length is concerned, we’re looking for:Other details:poems of up to 36 lines
