CALL FOR PAID SUBMISSIONS, BY WOMEN IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM
We are looking for submissions of poetry, short fiction, creative non-fiction and visual art. Writing that grabs us conveys a unique perspective and honest insight into our world. We are especially interested in underrepresented voices of all kinds, and we want to see submissions from women writers and artists of all races, sexualities, nationalities, religions.,
We also want to see submissions from disabled and people with controversial and different views.
We pay £50 for each submission that we accept and publish by women in the justice system. We can provide feedback, if you would like.
We want to hear from you, about your experiences of the justice system, particularly about how you were treated in the courts, by the police and judges, by your own lawyers and mental health professionals. Which agencies helped you? Was probation supportive? We are all writers and artists, so simultaneous submission is encouraged, but please let us know Immediately if it has been accepted elsewhere. Previously published work will not be considered, and this includes work published on social media and personal websites. If it is available publicly online, that means it is published.
Once you have received a response to a submission, please wait two months before sending us a new work. Submitting is free.
We are now open for submissions for our Summer 2022 issue, with a focus on housing, creativity and mental health.
****THREE NOTES****
1.) We will remain open To submissions until 30 June with scheduled printing of the Summer 2022 issue the beginning in early July.
2.) We don’t take many current event pieces as with time between acceptance and publication they are often outdated or no longer relevant. But right now we invite Black creators to send us work of any kind, and we will have a section in The View Autumn 2022 dedicated to amplifying your voices.And, the pieces don’t have to be about current events, or politics (although they can be if that is what you want). Just be a Black author or artist, creating what you love.
3.) Written submissions SHOULD be from 500 to 2 000 words. We reserve the right to edit content for grammatical corrections and spelling, however we never change the meaning of what you are stating. It is important that your writing / art reflects your own experience.
