CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Fairytale & Folklore
Submissions close September 1st! Send us your best micro & flash pieces.
Raising Mothers has a new call for our MICRO & FLASH section!
Theme: Fairytale & Folklore
Genre: Micro & Flash fiction and nonfiction
Open: July 15 - September 1
Editor:
The fairy tales and folklore we hear as children often shape our paradigms about the family unit. We seek flash fiction and flash nonfiction inspired by these narratives, which merge the real with the surreal, the domestic with the fantastical. How can we reimagine tropes and archetypes like the dutiful daughter, the crone, or the absent mother? What do these experiences mean under the lens of BIPOC parenting/childhood and the experience of difference?
"I am intrigued by work that takes tropes and archetypes and subverts expectations. Whether the narratives are curious, bittersweet, humorous, or haunting, I want to understand more about the intimate and political ramifications of the familiar bond."
