Preface by Dr. Karen Ward
Cover Art by Barbara O'Meara
Scheduled publication: Imbolc 2025
Submission Guidelines:
Please send your finished piece in a Word document. 2,500 word limit. Calibri size 12 font is preferred. Please do not use any fancy formatting or fonts as it creates more work on our end. Make sure to spell check before you submit. Art should be sent in high resolution as a JPG. You may submit more than one piece for consideration, but due to the volume of submissions, please only send your best work and keep it on topic.
Please note that this anthology will be about Goddess Brigid. We will not be exploring Her later role as Saint in this collection.
We do not accept work created with Artificial Intelligence.
PLEASE SEND YOUR SUBMISSIONS TO SUBMISSIONS@GIRLGOD.ORG BY JULY 31, 2024 with the book title in your subject line. Please note that we cannot accommodate any late submissions or corrections.
Please also include a bio in the third person under 150 words.
Accepted contributors will receive a contributor's copy of the book and the option to order as many copies of the book as they'd like at cost during the pre-order period to sell or gift as they wish.
Be sure to sign up for our newsletter to be the first to receive our Calls for Submissions.
