June Edition of Writers Wanted Page Two

Back to Page One of Writers Wanted

It's not too late to plant your seeds. Write, submit--be published

This article sponsored by:

The Writer Instructing and inspiring writers since 1887, The Writer is an indispensable magazine for both professional and aspiring writers. Each issue includes articles written by leading writers in all fields. Tips on manuscript submission and up-to-date markets, craft of writing and getting published.

Inviting: moving and well-written stories, poems, and memoirs on the following theme:

What happens to our understanding of ourselves and our place in society when we make the decision, as an individual and as a woman, to commit ourselves to a different social structure from the one in which we were raised? We are especially interested in the experiences of women who have chosen to become U.S. citizens and the impact this conscious commitment has had on them and their families. Does it change what has felt to us to be natural, unquestioned, in our own upbringing and development - or that of our daughters?

Some of us come to the States intentionally, desirous of and prepared for citizenship, some of us find ourselves here because we love someone else (parents, sibling, or spouse) who has that clear intention, or we come because we are escaping something worse and have been placed here, willy nilly, as refugees or economic migrants. Whatever the route to this decision, at the point we become a citizen we are making a choice and a commitment that are now uniquely our own. We not only engage with but are committed to the promotion of certain values that may fit us as poorly as borrowed clothes or as close as a second skin.

"Raising The Biggest Generation" is a collection of stories from
parents with overweight kids.

We've all heard the shocking statistics. This generation is the first predicted to have a shorter lifespan than their parents. Diabetes and heart disease find their victims at younger and younger ages due in part to obesity. Teasing is a way life for fat kids, often leaving permanent damage to young psyches. Childhood obesity is the signature issue for First Lady Michelle Obama.

We are looking for real life, amazing tales from moms and dads in families where food has become the central battlefield.

First person (absolutely no second person stories will be considered) 700 words, max. Stories can be funny, sad, quirky, irreverent, tragic, inspiring, breaking through denial or living in an attitude of gratitude. (We are not fans of the Julian Michaels/"Biggest Loser" approach.) Anything preachy or degrading towards children will be rejected immediately.

Looking for loving life lessons for parents of this very special circle.

First time, unpublished writers welcome. Pay $50 upon acceptance. Email submissions only. Writers guidelines: staycalm09@gmail.com.
Deadline is August 1, 2010.
