Submissions
Women need places to use their voice, and Emerging Women is such a place. We want to hear what women have to say. So if you have an essay, article, reflection, book or movie review, story, or resource that relates to faith or women’s issues in some way please submit it to the above address for posting consideration. We ask that submissions stay under 800 words (although longer stories are considered) and that you include a short bio with your submission. Together we can create the conversation and help each other along in this journey.

Current Series -

Any submissions related to Lent or Easter are welcome during this season.

New Life – This series will explore the places where we see life emerging in the world around us. So tell us about the places where you see the shoots of hope sprouting or where branches may be green even where no leaves can be seen. These can be abundant displays of new life or just glimmers of life in barren landscapes. God is breathing life into this world, and we can provide snapshots of that life to help encourage others. So send in your stories, your poetry, your reports, your photography and share with us where you are seeing new life in this world.

And we are still accepting submissions for our series on Awakenings. We are looking for stories, reflections, and essays on your experience of awakening to yourself. This could be when you first realized that as a woman you too held worth, or when you started claiming your faith as your own, or when you chose to break from from cultural constraints and expectations, or when you discovered a new way of approaching theology, or when you claimed a part of you that had been hidden (or whatever else you want). The idea is to reflect on a time when you woke up and saw the world or yourself in a new way.

Please send submissions to emergingwomen (at) gmail (dot) com
