Call For Submissions
We are looking for young and emerging Mormon women writers to take part in a historic series of literary readings to take place along the Mormon corridor in Spring 2010.
We invite submissions of poetry or prose from any woman who identifies herself as a Mormon, including members or former members of the Community of Christ or fundamentalist Mormon groups.
We seek writers who speak powerfully to Mormon audiences by broadening our sense of Mormon belonging and offering compelling new visions for what it might mean to be Mormon in the 21st century.
If you would like to be considered for inclusion, please send
1. a one-page cover letter explaining how your work offers a compelling new vision for what it means to be Mormon in the 21st century. Given that we are interested in inclusion rather than orthodoxy, this letter should not be considered a request to bear your testimony. Rather than affirming your beliefs in the core tenets of the church, consider discussing intersections, tensions and confluences between Mormon culture and the world at large, or the ways that a Mormon heritage helps and hinders women in responding to the challenges of the world we live in today. Feel free to define and redefine your Mormon identity in idiosyncratic and personal ways as part of this account.
2. a two-page writing sample of poetry or prose
Address all correspondence and questions electronically to mowolito@live.com or by snail mail to Professor Joanna Brooks, Department of English, San Diego State University, 5500 Campanille Drive, San Diego, CA 92182. Submissions due March 31, 2009.
