Call For Submissions — What Is Home?

I’m in British Columbia this week for Vancouver Writers Festival. The first day was great and I’m looking forward to the rest of the events this week, including a workshop I’m hosting and a panel discussion I’m taking part of.

The theme of the festival this year is home. That word sparks so many things for me that I wouldn’t even know where to start. Notice that I titled this letter “What Is Home,” not “Where Is Home.” I want you to think about this question deeply. Home can mean so man things so when you submit your piece, think about what it means to you from both a literal and imaginative perspective.

Same rules as always:

• You can submit to this or ANY of our past writing prompts. Just scroll through our previous newsletters. They’ll be marked “Call for Submissions.”
• If you’re already a writer for CRY, go ahead and submit.
• Be as creative as you want in your submissions. As long as you stick to the topic, we’ll consider it.
• Just because you submit doesn’t mean we’ll post. If you haven’t heard back from us in three days, consider that a pass.
