Attention writers:

The Southern Women's Review is an online literary journal which was inspired by the biennial Berry College Southern Women Writer's Conference - a conference whose theme we share: "showcasing the works of well known and emerging southern women writers, expanding the literary canon, and developing critical and theoretical understandings of traditions and innovations in southern women's writing."

Whether you are a born and bred Southerner, a Southern transplant, or merely a frequent visitor, we welcome you to submit your poetry/prose, fiction, creative nonfiction/memoirs, and photography. Submissions should be from women who were born in or grew up in the US South; currently live in the US South; or write about the US South. For editorial purposes, we consider the US South to be a region comprised of the following areas: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Maryland, Washington DC, and West Virginia.

Beginning August 1st, the Southern Women's Review will take submissions for our next issue to be posted on-line beginning January, 2010. Please submit your poetry/prose, fiction, creative nonfiction/memoirs, or photography along with contributor's notes beginning August 1st to southernwomensreview@gmail.com. Allow 4-6 weeks for response and please include type of submission in the subject line. Call for submissions will end October 31st.

Note: Your submission gives us permission to use your work extensively online. At this time, we do not pay upon publication.

JOIN THE OUR LIVES FAMILY

Do you want to see your words published on these pages?

We need more community writers for the Our Lives column to share stories about life around here.

Send a 50-word essay -- yes, 50 -- on a topic of your choice. It could be what you'd like to write about if chosen, it could be a little about yourself, it could be what's on your mind. Just make it good.

E-mail your essay to adrienne.johnson@newsobserver.com by 5 p.m. Friday. Late entries will not be accepted.

Sorry, but you will be contacted only if you are chosen to write a longer essay to be considered as one of the new writers.

Good luck and good writing!
