Call for Submissions on Theme of "We Could Almost Touch It": Tangled Locks Journal

 

We Could Almost Touch It, aims to amplify the voices of women and delve into the state of women since the 2016 presidential election. Similar to our Featured Abortion Stories, this series is designed to provide a platform for women to share their experiences and stories.

Throughout this year, we will be accepting submissions and publishing essays on a rolling basis. In 2025, we plan to compile a collection of essays from this series into a book that documents our experiences, aspirations, and dreams. By submitting your work for online publication, you will also be eligible for possible publication in the printed anthology.

We are actively seeking personal essays that narrate our journeys toward genuine equality while highlighting the impact of inequality on our lives and outlining our efforts to resist and combat it.

We invite all of you to submit your essays. For this special series, we will waive all submission fees. You are also invited to join our community of writers and readers by signing up for our newsletter and following us on social media.

  • Essays should be up to 1500 words in length. 
  • We can accept previously published essays as long as the rights have reverted back to the author. Please let us know where and how to credit the first publication.
  • Writers may choose to publish anonymously.

There is no fee for submission. 

Deadline: Dec. 15, 2024

We are a small magazine with volunteer readers yet we are committed to compensating writers for their work. We pay authors $15 per published piece in the quarterly journal.  This in no way reflects the value of the author’s work but merely the amount we are able to pay from submission fees. 

We partner with writers on enhancing their visibility. All published authors received custom-designed promotional images (similar to book covers) that are suitable for social media promotions and tips on promoting their work.

Submit your work here.
