Call for submissions — How is your identity connected to your art?

For this month's submissions, I’m curious about how connected you are to your work. Do you write about things you believe in? Is your writing meant to be pleasurable and so you disconnect it from real life? How much of yourself do you include in your writing? And if you are intensely connected to your work, how do you decompress?

The rules:

If you’re already a writer for CRY, simply go ahead and submit.If you would like to submit but you’re not a writer on CRY, reply to this message and I’ll add you.Deadline for submissions is one week from today (February 26).

If you’ve never written for CRY before, I suggest you read our submission guidelines.

Thanks in advance to all who submit. We’re excited to read and share your stories.
