Call for Submissions: SHORT TAKES

We invite you to submit a short nonfiction piece (250-500 words) for our special section, "Short Takes." This section will appear twice a year, in the Summer and Winter issues.

See the list of topics listed below-they’re general, so you can relate to them as you wish. We’re especially interested in hearing about your experiences, but you can include your thoughts, dreams, and ideas. Humor and irony are always appreciated!

The editors will select the submissions to appear in the issue. We will edit your work, but we will pass it by you for approval before it appears.

Topic: Taking a Stand
Submissions Accepted: January 1 — April 15, 2011
Appears: Summer 2011
