NEW! Collection Four: Spring 2023,

Break the Ice (before it melts)

 

Our fourth full collection centers the climate crisis as a significant and ever present reality in our lives. The fact of climate change is with us in our day-to-day lives, haunting our visions of the future, but also strengthening our commitments to each other and our communities. The selected works reflect a gauntlet of thoughts and emotions that reflect frustration and profound anxiety, but also hope as we reimagine and build a better world together.

The Writing for Change Journal is a multimodal publishing space, and therefore welcomes submissions beyond traditional written texts like essays and other forms of nonfiction writing like prose, interviews, and personal narratives. Submissions may also be in the form of photography, visual and performance art, podcasts, film, and combined mediums and those yet to be imagined. Though we may ask you to include a paragraph or two about your process and intention as it relates to this collection’s theme. Creative and collaborative submissions are always welcomed.
