Women in a Golden State (an anthology)
(For California poets/writers only)
Gunpowder Press is accepting poems (including brief prose poems or micro-
essays) from women aged 60 and older for a forthcoming anthology on women in
the Golden State. Our experiences are as unique as our state's landscapes.
California is a state filled with muses, native or newcomer, named after a mythical
queen.
In an environment that is rapidly changing, how has California helped to shape our relationships and perspectives? How do we use our voices to rise above challenges, deal with signs of aging, cope with loss, mentor our daughters, and guide younger generations?
Submissions are accepted until December 31, 2024. Contributors selected for
publication will receive two copies of the published anthology and a contributor
discount on additional copies.
How to Submit: Send up to 1-3 poems or micro-essays (up to 300 words
each), each as its own document (you will be uploading 1-3 documents). Word.doc or .docx format preferred. Previously unpublished work is strongly preferred. If
previously published, contributor is responsible for securing permission to reprint.
Please include a brief bio of 100 words or less. Contributors must be current
California residents who will be 60 or older as of December 31, 2024. There is no
fee to submit; please submit only once.
