Call For Submissions: Your Secret Place
http://silkroad.pacificu.edu/index.html
We are crafting a special issue of Silk Road devoted to secret places. We have no set definition of what that might mean, in part because one person’s hidden space is not another’s – that’s why it’s secret. So we’re wondering: What would surprise us about a previously undisclosed or unnoticed location in your neighborhood, country, house or heart? What shouldn’t we and the rest of the world know (but you are going to tell us anyway)?

Call for Submissions: Essay Anthology by Women in Jewish Interfaith Relationships
A graduate of the MFA in Writing program at Sarah Lawrence College is developing an essay anthology that will feature essays by women who are in (or have been in) an interfaith relationship or marriage, in which one of the partners is Jewish (the contributors may be the Jewish or non-Jewish partner). An amorphous body of this literature is floating around the internet, notably on the website interfaithfamily.com. Sociology books on the topic of Jewish intermarriage abound, as do practical guidebooks for marriage and parenting. But what is often missing from the existing literature are human stories. This collection of personal essays will focus specifically on women’s stories, about the joys and challenges of their relationships, their experiences with child-rearing, how they relate to their communities and families, how they create their own identities in the unique “liminal zone” of the interfaith relationship.
The editor is looking for, first and foremost, great, well-written, vivid personal stories and welcomes published and unpublished authors to submit their essays/stories. The length may be 1,000-2,000 words (but I am open to any reasonable length, shorter or longer). The tone/style should not be polemical or sentimental, just an honest and compelling non-fiction personal narrative. (You may want to take a look at the excellent anthology, Half/Life, edited by Laurel Snyder and published by Soft Skull Press, which features the stories of adults who were raised in Jewish interfaith homes.) Please send submissions as a Word attachment or pasted in an email (not .docx) to interfaithessay@gmail.com mailto:hila.ratzabi@gmail.com. Submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis through May 1st, 2010—earlier is better, though. Include your name, a short bio, and email address. Responses will be sent by September 1st, 2010.
