Two new open calls for hybrid and cross-genre manuscripts are now live, both due October 10th! We’re looking for full-length manuscripts by authors at any stage of their career for our Open Reading Period, which will be guest judged, this year, by poet and educator Asiya Wadud (@asiyawadud). We’re also looking for in-progress work to consider for the Carolyn Bush Award, which honors the life and work of Wendy’s Subway co-founder Carolyn Bush (1990-2016) and seeks to provide in-depth editorial and professional support to an emerging writer in her name. Selected titles will be published as part of the Passage Series, which assembles books by emerging writers and artists that imagine new possibilities and expressions of the poetic, the political, and the social. Submissions accepted via Submittable. Visit the link in bio (or, bit.ly/wssubmit2021) for more information on both open calls! * Graphics by @junjuwon
