Call For Masculist Literature For New Anthology
posted by Nightmist on Sunday October 07, @02:26PM
from the announcements dept.
Announcements I am now seeking written works (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, journalistic commentary/articles) for publication in a new anthology of masculist literature. I plan to compile these works over a year's time and publish them as a collection in both e-book and physical form (if possible). Any writers interested in contributing to this compendium may do so by e-mailing me at nightmist@mensactivism.org. Click "Read More" below for full details.

Anthology Submission Requirements

  • Work must be submitted in either Word, HTML, or text format.
  • There is no specific length requirement, but considering that this is an anthology of many authors, we don't want one dominated the entire book. I'd recommend that longer works be no longer than 10,000 words.
  • We are attempting to cover ALL aspects of the men's movement in some form or other. That means you have a wide range of topics to choose to write about. Because we don't want everyone writing about the same topic, it would be wise to submit your topic idea to me before you begin writing or submit your work.
  • After all works have been collected, they will be judged for inclusion by a yet-to-be-determined team of judges. The final work will be co-edited by myself and Steve Imparl.
  • You will retain the copyright on any work you submit to us. We only ask permission to edit your work for mistakes and clarity, and for the rights to publish it in this anthology and any future revisions or redistributions of this anthology.
  • There is no guarantee of financial reward for your work in this anthology. It's a labor of love for now. If it does end up turning a profit, we will distribute those profits equally among the authors.
  • All works will be given equal consideration. We do have a couple of really big names who have expressed an interest in contributing to this anthology. However, we will not be judging works on name recognition or value. Works will be judged on their relevance to the overall topic of masculism and quality of writing.

Submission Ideas

We are looking for works about any and all of the following:
  • Divorce
  • Fatherhood
  • Choice for Men
  • Men and the media
  • Male bashing
  • Male stereotypes (breaking the molds)
  • Male stereotypes (fulfilling the old roles)
  • Men's Health
  • Education
  • Feminism
  • Comparisons of Individualist Feminism and the Men's Movement
  • War and the Selective Service
  • Domestic Violence
  • Male rape
  • The criminalization of men/men in prison
  • Circumcision
  • The feminization of boys/young men
  • False accusations
  • Myths of oppression by men (wage gap, etc.)

Types of Works

  • Poetry
  • Fiction
  • Non-fiction essays
  • Illustrations
  • Journalistic editorials/commentary/articles
Questions and submissions should be directed to nightmist@mensactivism.org.
