CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS!

CALL FOR

SUBMISSIONS! - Ellen Aponte

I am very happy and excited to announce that I am putting together an anthology to help Puerto Rico! But I need your help! Please share this post and read through the Call for Submissions I have posted below. If anyone has any questions, just send me a message or contact me at the email below.

Now accepting poetry, fiction, and short essays for Boricua en la Luna, an anthology of work by artists from Puerto Rico or of Puerto Rican descent.

Proceeds from this anthology will go to the Hispanic Federation to assist with Hurricane Maria and Irma recovery relief.

Work may be on any subject, but should reference or relate to Puerto Rican identity. Work may be in Spanish or English or both; we are open to work in translation, but require translated artist or estate permission. We will not consider work that is sexist, racist, or in other ways bigoted.

Submit .pdf or .doc/.docx attachment of 1-6 poems, 1-3 flash fiction or nonfiction, or short story or essay up to 3000 words to LunaBoricuas@gmail.com by September 30th. Please include a brief biographical note of up to 50 words. Please place title(s) of work in a list within the email, and include name and contact information on the first page of your submission.

Acceptance decisions will be made by December 31st, with release of anthology in mid-2019.

Previously published works considered. We acquire one-time print and electronic rights. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but if a work is accepted elsewhere, please alert us at the above email.

All contributors will receive a copy of the anthology, which will be distributed in both print and electronic forms.
