Call for Submissions: Creative Nonfiction
ISSUE THEME and CONTEST: Animals
Postmark deadline April 2, 2010
For an upcoming issue, we're seeking new essays about the bonds--emotional, ethical, biological, physical, or otherwise--between humans and animals. We're looking for stories that illustrate ways animals (wild and/or domestic) affect, enrich, or otherwise have an impact on our daily lives.
Essays must be vivid and dramatic; they should combine a strong and compelling narrative with a significant element of research or information, and reach for some universal or deeper meaning in personal experiences. We’re looking for well-written prose, rich with detail and a distinctive voice.
PRIZES:
$1000 - The Robert Fragasso Animal Advocate Award
For the Best Creative Nonfiction Essay About Animals
$500 - Creative Nonfiction Editor's Award
Guidelines: Essays must be: unpublished, 5,000 words or less, postmarked by April 2, 2010, and clearly marked “Animals” on both the essay and the outside of the envelope.
