Here’s a call for submissions for an upcoming anthology. In particular, the editor is looking for the voices of families of color, dads, younger parents, and older parents.
~Deesha

last submissions call!

The deadline for general submissions to My Baby Rides the Short Bus was July 1, 2008. We are really pleased with the strong and thought-provoking essays we have received and look forward to publishing an amazing anthology. To fill some holes we see, we will still be accepting a small number of submissions on the topics listed below (or possibly others as suggested by you). We are particularly interested in receiving submissions from dads, young parents, older parents and/or people of color. Also, we have a disproportionately high number of essays about autism, and while we will definitely consider more of those, we’d like to see contributions for parents dealing with other disabilities.

Topics:
*Working outside of the system–creating alternatives
*Living in an intentional community with a special needs kid
*Homeschooling or unschooling with special needs*Alternative treatments
*Out of home placements
*Kids growing older
*Disability activism
*Influence of parenting a child with disabilities on intimate parental relationships/relationships with other family members

Please email shortbusbook@yahoo.com to discuss a deadline. If you email us, check also in your spam folder for a response-we have been finding a few messages have been filtered out by more sensitive emails, but we respond to everyone.

Submissions should be 2,000 to 5,000 words and typed, double-spaced, and paginated. Please include your address, phone number, email address, and a short bio on the last page.
