OPEN CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: THE LOOKING GLASS ANTHOLOGY VOLUME II
– Theme: Letters To Our Sons
– Literature & Art BY WOMEN

– DEADLINE CLOSED !!

As the push and pull of the collective global turmoil forces us to reflect and take a hard look at what our societies have amounted to, we turn to art to find solace, meaning, a haven to teach and edify.
In this second volume of The Looking Glass Anthology, we aim to dissect, address, comfort, and ignite conversation around the theme Letters To Our Sons. This volume seeks to have women from around the world share their written and visual art which speaks to the men in our lives. We especially seek to have women “write letters” to the men of this world, the sons of our communities, and speak frankly about any topics deemed important to the current social status (including but not limited to):
– what you want to teach your boy-child
– what you wish society would teach men
– things you want sons to know about the “world out there”
– parental love / friendships / relationships / love of self

Submissions may be in the form of literature and/or any visual art interpretations – published or unpublished.
The work must be the original creations of the contributor. Plagiarism will not be tolerated and dealt with accordingly.

We welcome work from women only, ages 21 and older, from anywhere in the world.

  • Can you tell me the minimum limit of poem as i write which is approximately of not more than 35 lines. Affaf from Pakistan

  • I have a question though. It says submissions must be in attachment with word, pdf etc formats. Will it be possible to write the entry on the content of email rather than attachment. I am having trouble writing via word or pdf since I dont own any formal gadget for writing. I only use my phone. I tried dowloading words microsoft app but most of them are flop. Looking forward to hear from you admin since Im seriously interested in submitting my works.

    • If you have no other alternative we will accept if written in body of email. Please clearly mark where poems start and end.

    • This is a free submission, you do not pay any registration. We do not offer any payment for selected contributions but do send selected contributors a hard copy or ebook of the publication. Unfortunately we cannot accept any drama/skit at this stage. Perhaps you can adapt your piece to prose or short story?
