Monograph: Contemporary American Women: Our Defining Passages
Monograph: Contemporary American Women: Our Defining Passages
Foreword by Carolyn Lesser, Webster University, St. Louis, MO, nonfiction writing faculty; natural science children's books published by Harcourt, Alfred A. Knopf; essayist, poet, photographer, keynote speaker, artist.
Afterword by Dr. Loriene Roy, 2007-2008 President of the American Library Association. Professor, University of Texas at Austin, founder of "If I Can Read, I Can Do Anything," a national reading club for Native American children.
Please consider sharing the important milestones, life changing events, transitions in your life--material that would broadly fit the "Women's Studies" genre that is highly readable, moving and relatable. There are the passages that occur to us (for example, losing a loved one, and then the passages we choose (such as adopting a child). Please focus on those pivotal moments and why they were important passages for you.
Currently, we have enough material on: chronic/acute illness; getting a degree; career changes; relocating.
Suggestions for topics as of yet relatively unexplored: changing/leaving/going back to a new or former religion or mode of spirituality (no preaching, please); how a companion/rescue animal changed your life; how participation in outdoor adventure changed your life; deciding to volunteer; milestones about deciding to be true to yourself (such as coming out, ending a negative friendship, setting healthy boundaries).
This book celebrates our passages as women, from one moment into another, from one door to the next. Often it is after the navigation, that in reflection, we see that some of the most difficult are the ones we have learned the most and have had lasting effects as well on those around us.

Afterword by Suzanne Bunkers, Professor of English, Minnesota State University, editor of Diaries of Girls and Women: a Midwestern American Sampler (University of Wisconsin Press).
Word total for two or three articles based on your experience is 2,000 words; maximum 3,000. One article may be 1,000 words, another 1,000 (or three 667 word articles) to reach the required 2,000 words. One co-author may be used but all two or three articles must be co-authored with the same co-author.
Markets for women, why women write, writing styles, time management, using life experience, women's magazines, critique groups, romance writing, networking, blogs, unique issues women must overcome, promotion, lesbian and bisexual writing, education, queries and proposals, conference participation, family scheduling, feminist writing, self-publishing, are just a few areas women writers are interested.
Practical, concise, how-to articles with bullets/headings have
proven the most helpful. Please avoid writing solely about "me" and the personal: concentrate on what will help the reader. No previously published or simultaneously submitted material. Contributors receive a complimentary copy and contributor's discount on additional copies. It is common for compilation of an anthology to take upwards of a year, but we will be in touch with all contributors with updates on securing a publisher.
Cynthia Brackett-Vincent is publisher/editor of the esteemed
Aurorean poetry journal; poetry instructor; award-winning poet;
author of The 95 Poems chapbook (2005) and contributor to Educators as Writers: Publishing for Personal and Professional Development.

In our experience, most publishers return rights to individual contributors variously after publication. However, because we are still seeking a publisher, we cannot speak to those rights specifically at this time. Contributors will be asked to sign a release form from the publisher and therefore will be have the opportunity to agree to the details of the contract or withdraw one's work at that time.
