See their writer’s guidelines for their current anthology contribution needs. “We’re very interested in reading work from all types of women. Diversity in age, race, religion, socioeconomic status, country of origin/residence, ability, and occupation are all welcome. If you believe you are a member of a disadvantaged or underrepresented group, please say so in your cover letter. It won’t get your work past the first hurdle, but it may come into play when we make final selections, assuming a collection of excellent submissions that cannot all be published.” Pays $0.02/word, plus a copy of the publication. “Most accepted essays are likely to fall within the 1,500 to 3,500-word range, but word counts outside that range may work. We’re not looking for anecdotes, but rich, layered pieces full of vivid sensory detail, interesting storylines, intriguing insights, honesty, humor, and vulnerability. It’s difficult to pack all that into less than 1,500 words, but if you feel you’ve done so, send it over and we’ll take a look. For longer pieces, be especially vigilant about ‘using the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted,’ as Vonnegut wrote.” Submit ms with brief bio by email.
