[THIS CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS IS NOW CLOSED]
As the editor of an upcoming anthology, I am looking for personal essays by women who identify as Arab or Muslim (or both) involved in an intercultural, interreligious romantic relationship or marriage.
Submission Guidelines
- I am looking for personal essays (nonfiction) by Arab and/or Muslim women who married or got romantically involved with someone from another religion and/or ethnicity. Those involved with someone from a different denomination (sect) within the same religion are also welcome to submit their personal stories.
- Contributions can be made from anywhere in the world. Women living in their countries of origin, first and second-generation immigrant women, are all strongly encouraged to share their personal narratives.
- Submissions can be made in either English or Arabic; the editor will take care of the translation into English.
- Pieces must be previously unpublished. Simultaneous submissions are allowed but discouraged. If your piece is accepted elsewhere, please let me know immediately.
- Given the sensitivity of the topic, contributors can request to publish their pieces anonymously. But please identify yourself when submitting your work and indicate your desire for anonymity – and provide your preferred pseudonym.
- Submissions must be emailed as an attachment in the form of a Word document, with your name and contact information on the first page. Requests for anonymity must be indicated in the body of your email message.
- Length: Anywhere between 750 – 4000 words.
- Email your queries and submissions to: submissions.alantologia@gmail.com. Please allow 4-6 weeks to hear back; I will make every effort to respond promptly.
- Deadline: July 1st, 2023.
