Submissions Call for YA Anthology

I hope one of your New Year's resolutions was to write and aim to be published. We'll try to keep you posted on contests, publishers and other markets where your writing might find a home. To start off the new year we've heard of a call for submissions for a YA anthology. Details are below.

All the best

Sumach Press is delighted to announce a new YA story collection about mothers and daughters and body image, to be published in 2008. The working title is Cleavage, and we're looking for stories of 2000 - 3500 words about eating disorders, cosmetic surgery, implants, clothing choices, hair, waxing, makeup, piercing, tattoos etc. Point of view should be thirteen and up, but the issues can be hers, her mother's, or both. We're especially interested in quirky, humourous stories that capture the bizarreness of body image along with defining mother-daughter moments. We welcome submissions from new, emerging and established writers by June 15 2007. For details, please go to: Sumach Press
