Creative calls for submission
There are a number of exciting collaborative projects which I have been invited to be part of, and which I want to share with you.
So dust off your creative juices – if you paint or draw, write poems, reflections or essays, if you take photographs…why not get involved too? This is your chance to share your work.
The six collaborative projects below are looking for material on: breastfeeding, mothering, birth, pregnancy, soul work, book reviews, nature wisdom, transition culture ideas, the sacred feminine…
None offer monetary payment. All offer the opportunity to get your work out to a wider audience. Many offer a copy of the book you are included in. Many offer the opportunity to give to the greater good by supporting charities and grassroots co operatives.
There are three books on motherhood, two diaries and a website:
Musings on Mothering – La Leche League GB anthology
Deadline: end February 2012.
Contact: Teika Bellamy teika@mothersmilkbooks.com
The book will consist of words and art (in any kind of medium) and I plan to divide the contributions into these six areas:
On nostalgia, childhood and mummy cuddles.
Motherfunker’s Guide to Pregnancy and Birth
Deadline: end February 2012.
Contact: Paula Clery – aka Motherfunker – onelittlebuffalogirl@hotma
