Woman’s Work: The Short StoriesPart of the problem is that I treat writing like a privilege not an obligation. It comes after everything, after all my other responsibilities.Maegan “la Mala” OrtizMy Writing LifeWoman’s Work: The Short Stories is a celebration of what happens when women finally get to the page. About the extraordinary stories that spill out of these extraordinary, and often ignored, storytellers during those stolen moments when she surrenders to her burning desire to write, to create.GirlChild Press seeks the fresh and exciting voices of writers that can entice the reader with intricate tales of shapeshifters and evil doppelgangers, rock and roll princesses in twisted fairy tales, broken gunslingers in deserted western towns, and political murder mysteries that lead to sex in illicit places.We will follow her through rabbit holes and pop up as mermaids dressed in camouflage, all while reveling in a romance that bloomed on a long-forgotten battlefield in outer space. Surprises will await us at every corner. We will discover what is passionate, and pure, and complicated and be glad for it.Ultimately, Woman’s Work is about women as master storytellers.Submission Requirements• Deadline: March 1, 2009• No more than 2 previously unpublished short stories per submission• Simultaneous submissions okay, but notify if your work is accepted elsewhere• 4,000 words or less• Double spaced• NO POETRYAll contributors will receive a copy of the anthology and will be invited to read at the book launch in 2009.Electronic SubmissionsGirlchildpress@ aol.comTitle of submission should be placed in the subject line.Please include your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and short bio with your submission.Snail MailGirlChild PressPO Box 93Hyattsville, MD 20781Please include your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and short bio with your submissionGirlChild Press publishes work that celebrates the triumph, defiance, and excellence of girls and women everywhere!For more information about GirlChild Press visit www.girlchildpress.com--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Get the Moviefone Toolbar.
