Forwarding on the call for Kris Riggle, a friend of mine:
Literary Mama is a magazine designed for mother-writers, but once a year we throw open our cyber-doors to dads. June is our special Father’s Day issue, and we in the fiction department are seeking submissions. Quoting from our Submission Guidelines: “We seek writing that is about fathers from the child's perspectives; about the relationships between fathers and mothers and husbands and wives; about husbands as fathers; and by self-defined fathers about fathering and mothering (including lesbian or transsexual parents who identify as fathers).” Mother-writers are of course still welcome as well.
We prefer previously unpublished work; simultaneous submissions are fine as long as you let us know if your work is accepted elsewhere. Maximum word count is 5,000 words.
Please check out our full submission guidelines here:
Submissions
There’s no hard deadline, but if you submit much later than mid-April, you might find that we’ve already fallen in love with too many stories to have room for yours. We also need to leave time for possible revisions.
Thank you.
Kristina Riggle and Suzanne Kamata, fiction editors for Literary Mama
