Call for Submissions: Adoption Stories
Thursday, September 17th, 2009
No matter what side of the situation you’re on, adoption can be an incredibly difficult thing to process. Whether you’re the parent that had to give up a child or the child who grew up wondering what your biological parents were like, chances are that you have a story that needs to be heard.
Editors Bruce Gillespie and Lynne Van Luven are currently looking for personal essays on the subject of adoption to be published in an upcoming anthology through TouchWood Editions. To have your story considered, all you need to do is submit a 300-word proposal of your story (that would later be expanded into a longer piece with the help of an editor) along with a short biography and contact information to adoptionessays@gmail.com by October 1st.
I don’t know why I’m writing this at all - I’ve sanctified with vigilance the secrecy of my adopted child. To my mother said, breathlessly exhausted, the first moment the newborn was held, “this is the hardest moment of my life”
I just sttumbled across this request and was curious if you received enough submissions for publication. I have all of my journal processing thoughts, feelings, process day by day about our family and the adoption of our amazing son from Russia. If still lookig, please let me know. Thanks!
