AFRICAN WRITERS ABROAD SEEKS MEMOIR SUBMISSIONS
Reply to: africanwritersabroad@yahoo.com

Everybody moves on eventually…

African Writers Abroad are currently accepting memoir submissions from
women of African descent for our forthcoming anthology on the theme of
moving.

Moving is something that most of us have had to do at some time.
Whether changing countries, cities or even streets the experience can
be an emotional one. Fear, excitement, joy, hope are just some of the
sensations that you may have felt when you had to move. African
Writers Abroad are looking for poignant memoir pieces about moving.

Why did you move? How far did you go? How did moving make you feel?
What did you leave behind? What did you hope to find - and did you
find it?

This anthology will reflect a broad range of voices, viewpoints and
experiences. Whether you have moved once, twice or several times we
want to read your stories of real life experiences and journal /diary
entries.

Guidelines for submissions:

- 2,000 words maximum 3,500 words double-spaced.
- Please submit by email attachment in Microsoft Word, Arial, 12 point
font.
- Deadline for submissions: 31 July 2008

Please send submissions as an attachment to

africanwritersabroad@yahoo.com
