The following is a call for submissions by women authors for a new short story anthology, ME TOO: Crimes Against Women, Retribution, and Healing. It is not a Sisters in Crime anthology, but many SinC members may be interested in submitting stories. Unfortunately, submissions by male authors will not be accepted.
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Project: ME TOO: Crimes Against Women, Retribution, and Healing, An Anthology of Short Stories
Maybe there's a story that has haunted you—yours or someone else's—and you've wished that everyone could hear it. Maybe you've always wished that you could change the ending.
Women across the world are breaking silence in unprecedented numbers in an outcry against sexual violence and misconduct. In fiction, however, women's perspectives on these experiences are too often disregarded. These short stories are the authors' efforts to help us hear them more clearly.
Editor: Elizabeth Zelvin, author of the Bruce Kohler Mysteries and the Mendoza Family Saga and editor of Where Crime Never Sleeps: Murder New York Style 4. Liz's stories have been nominated three times each for the Derringer and Agatha Awards and published in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, and Black Cat Mystery Magazine.
Guidelines: A 3,000 to 5,000 word short story (fiction, not memoir or creative nonfiction) on the theme of crimes against women, retribution, and healing...or alternatively, justice. Only stories by women authors will be considered. Stories must be original, ie never before published in print or online.
Deadline: July 1, 2018. See the full guidelines at http://www.metooanthology.net
Editor Elizabeth Zelvin is a three-time Derringer & three-time Agatha nominee. She is the author of The Bruce Kohler Mysteries and The Mendoza Family Saga. She also served as Editor of the short story collection, Where Crime Never Sleeps: Murder New York Style 4
