Chalkdust on the Sleeve of My Soul
Lisamarie Sanders, Editor
PO Box 374
Rixeyville, VA 22737
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Teachers. We've all had them. Some were amazing and inspiring; others not-so-much. But all of them have influenced our lives.
We are collecting true stories for a new anthology series, Chalkdust on the Sleeve of My Soul, and we would like to read yours.
If you are or were a teacher…
Share with us stories of how you chose the field. What brought you into this overworked, underappreciated vocation? Why do you stay? When have you been most fulfilled?
We're also seeking stories of the lessons you learned from your students, your favorite teaching moments, and your advice for others just starting out.
If you had a teacher…
Tell us about the one who changed your life. The one who made a difference. Who took the time to show how much s/he cared -- how much you mattered. The one who introduced you to life or protected you from it.
Tell us about the teacher who taught you more than facts and figures. Or the one who really knew how to teach. Share your favorite school memories.
The details…
Submissions must be in English, and should run 700-1200 words. No reprints will be accepted for the anthology.
Writers of accepted works will receive a $100 honorarium and a copy of the anthology upon publication.
Deadline for submissions is March 31, 2003.
Sample essays and complete guidelines can be found at www.Chalkdust-Online.com.
Another Teacher Antholology

Writing Creative Nonfiction: Instruction...
The contributors (Annie Dillard, Phillip Lopate,
Barry Lopez, Terry Tempest Williams, et al.) spend the first half of the
book discussing creative nonfiction and the second half demonstrating it.
Not only does the format work, but pairing the works of creative nonfiction
with the accompanying commentary is educational and entertaining. These
authors know how to get published and will help you too! |
WideThinker Books

women's sexuality in the near future.

A Funny Thing Happened at the Movies…
Updated guidelines
NightsAndWeekends.com is looking for funny (or at least amusing) stories about movies – and the role they’ve played in our lives – for an upcoming anthology (working title, Movie Mania). Tell us the story about a run-in with a movie star, the night you and your friends stayed up all night watching movies, the time you spent working in a movie theater, or even the time you tried to make your very own movie.
Submissions and queries will be accepted through February 14, 2003. Please see the site for more detailed guidelines: http://www.nightsandweekends.com/anthology
ANIMALS IN POETRY ANTHOLOGY POETRY COMPETITION
-- Seeking
poems on animals. All submissions considered for publication;No poems returned.
All notices SASE; FIRST PRIZE $50.00 plus 5 copies. All published poems receive
copy of anthology. Reading
fee $4.00 per poem or $10 for three poems.

STORIES NEEDED ABOUT PETS, THEIR OWNERS AND THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THEM
I am currently working on an anthology of short stories detailing the complex relationships between owners and their pets. Can be any animal, from a chicken to a pig to a cow, but should show a moral -- teach a lesson, as it were.
The anthology is designed to teach without lecturing, tell without telling, educate by giving examples. Endings may be happy or tear-jerkers, but all must instill in the reader a small gasp, a small "I never realized that!" so they may grow in their relationships to their animals, and so animals may suffer less in the hands of their owners, even though the owners' intentions are well-meant.
Stories may run between 500 and 2,000 words, and each should be followed by the author's name, address, email (for my purposes only), plus an author's bio of 50-75 words.
At the present time, each author chosen would receive a free copy of the book. When it is in the printing stage, authors may pre-order copies at cost to re-sell themselves or give away as gifts, and the person who sells the most pre-sale copies will also get five to ten more free books, depending upon the amount sold. If the book becomes a best seller, or is extremely popular, they would share in the royalties twice a year. It is an excellent starting point for the writers looking to make it in this world, and another plus to add to their resume.
Send your contributions via email to me at avisann@wzrd.net by March 1.
