     Submissions Requested for Anthology of Writings by Survivors of Sexual
Abuse

Safer Society Press (www.safersociety.org) is interested in receiving
submissions of well-crafted, creative literature-poems, essays, short stories,
and short plays-written by survivors of sexual abuse. The submissions are 
being
considered for a forthcoming national literary anthology the press is 
planning.
Entries can be about the experience itself, its short-term or long-term 
impacts,
survival and/or recovery from such an experience, or other related, relevant
topics.  

Please limit short stories, plays, and essays to a maximum of 2,500 words in
length; poems should be no longer than two pages in length. Each submission
needs to be accompanied by contact information for the author that includes, 
if
at all possible, name, mailing address, phone number, and email address.
Considering the sensitivity of the material to be published, full names of
perpetrators will not be used, although, when appropriate, first names can be
used. In most instances in the anthology, the press would prefer to publish
submissions under authors' first names, but in other instances will allow full
names, a pen name, or the use of "anonymous." A small honorarium will be paid 
to
authors whose work is published in the forthcoming anthology.

Please send submissions both by snail mail and email by August 15, 2009. A
second tier of submissions will be requested in the fall, if the initial
submissions do not result in adequate material. Please mail submissions to
Marjorie Ryerson, Editorial Director, Safer Society Press, P.O. Box 340,
Brandon, VT 05733. Please email the same submissions to
.
 Mailed materials will not be returned unless
accompanied by an SASE. For questions, write the editor at
,
 or phone 802-247-3132.
