Audacious Women
An Anthology
Call for Submissions CLOSED
So what's exactly the tea?
NOTE: SUBMISSIONS NOW CLOSED-ANTHOLOGY FULL
The Deadline:
Hot Redhead Media will accept submissions of short fiction, creative non-fiction, interview, and mixed media until this anthology is full.
For submitters, full-length short fiction and creative non-fiction essay submission are what we are most seeking at this time.
Submitters can expect to hear back within 2-3 months. Simultaneous submissions okay. Reprints okay from print journals or published collections only. One submission per submitter unless solicited to submit more.
The What:
For AUDACIOUS WOMEN, we seek creative work that embraces the concept of women fully occupying their space, having or developing new agency, and trailblazing the roads for more powerful futures. We invite submissions from all genders and orientations. The anthology vibe is smart and celebratory. Best case submissions are work that makes us laugh, cry, and think deeply about the ways that women can come to the world as influencers, as sages. We seek pieces that embrace the concept of women with three-dimensionality, diversity in how “Audacious Women” can be interpreted. We want your best. Anything submitted that smacks of misogyny will be deleted without response.
