Subject: Raising Mothers

Here's our call and I'd love it if you could include it. Thank you!

It's 2020, and we're officially open for submissions! Head over to our submissions page (Raisingmothers.com/submissions) to read what we're looking for. Submissions are open on a rolling basis.

Raising Mothers exclusively seeks out and supports work by and about those often marginalized in literary spaces, including Black and Indigenous people, and people of color; trans people, cis women of color, agender, gender non-conforming, genderqueer, two-spirit, and non-binary people; intersex people; LGBQA (lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, asexual/aromantic) people; people with disabilities; and especially people living at the intersections of these identities.
Submissions by self-identified mothers of color: biological, non-biological, step, transgendered, foster, grand, or adoptive.
We are also looking to include the voices of people (there is no requirement to be a parent) who were un-mothered, under-mothered, have toxic parental relationships; people who are adoptees, and other child-centered perspectives. We are interested in non-heteronormative ideas of motherhood including queer parenting, chosen families, and any ways not mentioned that reconceptualize 'family'.
