Here’s a call for submissions for an upcoming anthology. In particular, the editor is looking for the voices of families of color, dads, younger parents, and older parents.

last submissions call!
The deadline for general submissions to My Baby Rides the Short Bus was July 1, 2008. We are really pleased with the strong and thought-provoking essays we have received and look forward to publishing an amazing anthology. To fill some holes we see, we will still be accepting a small number of submissions on the topics listed below (or possibly others as suggested by you). We are particularly interested in receiving submissions from dads, young parents, older parents and/or people of color. Also, we have a disproportionately high number of essays about autism, and while we will definitely consider more of those, we’d like to see contributions for parents dealing with other disabilities.
Topics:
*Working outside of the system–creating alternatives
*Living in an intentional community with a special needs kid
*Homeschooling or unschooling with special needs*Alternative treatments
*Out of home placements
*Kids growing older
*Disability activism
*Influence of parenting a child with disabilities on intimate parental relationships/relationships with other family members
Please email shortbusbook@yahoo.com to discuss a deadline. If you email us, check also in your spam folder for a response-we have been finding a few messages have been filtered out by more sensitive emails, but we respond to everyone.
Submissions should be 2,000 to 5,000 words and typed, double-spaced, and paginated. Please include your address, phone number, email address, and a short bio on the last page. |
