Stealing Time: Opening
Stealing Time
http://www.stealingtimemag.com/submit.html
A literary magazine for parents. All of our issues are themed; we will endeavor to announce the themes with considerable advance notice. For each issue we accept fiction, memoir, essay and poetry, as well as book reviews. We are open to pieces between 500 and 3,000 words, and poetry of a page or two. We'd rather like to publish a wide variety of not-already-famous people, so don't feel you need a list of publishing credits or awards. We'll let you know how much we expect to pay when we accept your piece; most will be between $100 and $500, depending on length and how hard our jaws hit the floor when we start reading.
Volume I Issue Pi. Pregnancy/Childbirth issue. Publish date late spring, 2013. Theme: "Opening." Submission Deadline: March 25, 2013.
In our birth meditations, we were told to think of ourself as "opening," and this word became infused not just with the physical task of opening a birth canal, but also the opening of our heart and soul and the rawness of our emotions in the time just before and after birth. Some of us were ripped open in ways we did not expect. And even at the beginning of pregnancy, the opening of a family was a thing to behold. We look for luminous and unusual explorations, both fiction and memoir, of your own openings and failures to open. For our pregnancy and childbirth issue, we look for highly crafted, beautiful, sensuous prose and poetry that catches us in the throat and in the gut, too. (up to 3,000 words.)
