Mid-Week Call for Submissions Love <3 Bloodletters: A Space for Healing
“Bloodletters Literary Magazine – A Space For Healing is a journal for those who have been affected by physical, mental or emotional trauma. We seek the best unpublished nonfiction and poetry intended to heal.
The trauma spectrum is long and broad. Trauma means living with and through abuse and assault. It’s being violated. It’s being held at gunpoint. It’s returning home after facing the horrors of war. It’s being physically or emotionally tortured. The definition of trauma is very individual, and different for everyone – the experiences may be different, but the effects are often the same.
Tell us how you endured, moved on, and got past your trauma. It could help someone else understand and come to terms with their own experience.”
Please visit www.bloodletterslitmag.com for more information and to get a feel for the kind of writing they seek.

Praise for The Long Weeping
“In these startlingly honest and imaginative essays, van Eerden enlarges the world around her, giving flesh to what is all too often flattened by the outside eye, anointing places and people and the throbbing spaces between them as she searches out and sings litanies to what she calls the “larger body I belonged to and could not leave.” Lush and razor-sharp, The Long Weeping shimmers with intelligence and grace. The truest essays I’ve read in a long time.”
—Sonja Livingston, author of Ghostbread, Queen of the Fall, and Ladies Night at the Dreamland
“Van Eerden is one of the best essayists working today if judged by her craft and intellect alone, but her gifts go beyond those: she is also one of the most honest. The Long Weeping turns a visionary eye and a laser mind on subjects often simplified or even scorned by contemporary culture: white poverty; mysticism; love of family; the wisdom of modest people. Van Eerden is brave enough to say the hard things. She’s strong enough to love the hard places.”
—Ann Pancake, author of Given Ground, Strange as This Weather Has Been, and Me and My Daddy Listen to Bob Marley
