Seal Press Call for Submissions
Friday, February 07, 2003I decided these gl's were just too long for my skimpy three column layout...so I'll give you the gist, and you can check them out at the url www.sealpress.com ....thank you!!! Balanced Parenting Balanced Parenting is a nonfiction anthology of stories by dual-career parents about how they manage to "balance" parenting, their relationship and work, while still maintaining some semblance of sanity. We are looking for true stories focusing on the joys and frustrations of parenting while working, as well as tips and tricks for keeping it all in balance. Stories should be about your experiences as a dual-parent, working couple and written in a style which is honest and open - the way you wish you could be with your friends, family and coworkers. We welcome submissions from working couples of all racial and socioeconomic backgrounds, parents of both sexes and sexual orientations, married and unmarried couples who both work by choice or necessity. Both parents can work outside of the home, or at home, or one of each. Topics At site. Without a Net Contributions wanted for Without a Net, an anthology of writing by females & transpeople who grew up poor or working-class, to be published by Seal Press in January of 2004. First-person narratives that read like short stories preferred over academic-style theories or essays. Some Soul to Keep: Young African-American Women on Love, Relationships, Sex and the Search for Mr. Right I am seeking essays by African-American women between the ages of 22-37 that explore the complexities of romantic, heterosexual relationships between African-American men and women.This anthology will be a collection of essays that candidly describes the complex waters we must navigate when seeking to establish long-term, monogamous, relationships with black men. These essays will detail and hopefully deconstruct many of the outside influences that lead to strain, breakdown, and failure of our relationships with black men. We have found ourselves at a pivotal moment in African-American history. The relationships we have with one another are at a crossroads and this book with explore the ways we got here, and perhaps even give us an idea of where we’re going. At the very least, this book will provide a way for us to talk TO each other instead of ABOUT one another. Permalink Cindy scribed this at 3:46 PM 0 comments |
