Origin Stories: An Anthology of Beginnings
Call for Submissions Origin Stories is a new anthology from Forest Publications examining creations and beginnings. We're looking for new writing on these themes, perhaps involving a personal genesis story, the beginning of a universe, or the start of a business, job, or relationship. We’re interested in any moment that changed the course of things. Forest Publications is excited to see how writers will approach and interpret this topic. We are accepting prose and poetry submissions. Contributors for this collection do not need to reside in the UK. The anthology will be distributed throughout the UK and promoted & marketed through Forest’s wide networks. Upon publication, Forest will organize online and/or in person launches in Edinburgh and beyond. Forest is a recognised arts charity. All profits will go to supporting artistic projects. Forest is eager to support emerging artists, group shows, experimental work, multi-media and performance art as well as fine art. As such, contributors will not be paid. They will receive a copy of the book. Thank you for your interest in this project! We look forward to reading your work.
