Being an Irish-American, I have a fondness for all things Irish, and the trip my sisters Kathleen, Bridget, and I made to Ireland in 1995 is one of my favorite memories. My writing friend Dianna Graveman knows about my fondness for Ireland, and she sends me call outs with an Irish slant.
Last year she sent me a call out for an Irish Inspirations anthology from Blue Mountain Arts. I submitted an essay "Coming Home," which was accepted for publication and is included in the anthology.
Anyway, Dianna e-mailed the other day with a call-out, which she also posted about on her Write in the Midwest blog. The magazine, in Wicklow, Ireland, is ApronStrings: Essential Reading for all Mothers. The editors are looking for stories from "mothers of all ages in all stages." The primary focus of their magazine is on personal essays, but they accept feature articles and some short stories. Irish and International writers are invited to submit. Payment varies, depending on length.
For complete details, including payment information, visit the writers' guidelines page of their website.
Go n-éirí an t-ádh leat! (that's Good Luck! in Irish Gaelic)

ReplyDeleteAs a mom of grown-up children and stepchildren, this could be a fun place to submit a few thoughts on being a "hands-off" mom.

Hey there, thanks for the visit. The Apron Strings call sounds interesting. I have six kids and I homeschool them...maybe some of our disasters with science might be interestin.
ReplyDeleteHi Raquel,
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by. With six kids you should have a lot of material that would work for the anthology.

If I get back into a writing groove, maybe I can send something.
