THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen :
FIRST … Women Who Submit empowers women & nonbinary writers – creating physical and virtual spaces for sharing information, supporting and encouraging submissions to literary journals, and clarifying the submission & publication process. The group started in response to to the VIDA count – that showed gender imbalances and the lack of diversity in the literary landscape – and began with a submission party around a kitchen table in July 2011. On that day six women ate quiche, created a sharing library of lit journals, set goals, asked for feedback on cover letters, and sent off submissions.
Ten years later they’ve got chapters around the country & internationally, and they’ve just published GATHERING – their second anthology. We talk to two members of the GATHERING editorial team – Tisha Marie Reichle-Aguilera and Ryane Granados.
AND … In honor of InternationalWomensDay we hear a powerful flashback from the stage of the first Women’s March in DC in January 2017 – Janelle Monae’s #SayHerName challenge.
