This morning I received an e-mail from Becky Haigler, one of the principals at Silver Boomer Books, announcing a call for anthology submissions.The editors are looking for stories, essays, poems, and interviews on the theme of Widowhood for the anthology.
Short works, especially poetry, are favored. Their emphasis is on "quality rather than quantity."
The submission period opens December 1, 2011 and closes March 30, 2012.
Writers whose works are selected will be notified in August 2012.
Expected release date is October 2012.
For complete details, visit the Silver Boomer Books submission page.
Through the grace of God my husband is still alive, so I don't have anything to submit for this anthology, but I thought some of my visitors might be widows or have something to write about on the topic.
Good luck if you submit, and God bless you if you are a widow.
Thanks for the tip, and one with such a long lead time!
