Artisans of the Soul: An Anthology of Teacher Appreciation

A project of Energy Threads Press

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (July 2023). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

Everyone talks about how courageous it is to be a teacher and how they touch lives, and yet we can never seem to adequately capture the heart of a teacher through short conversations in passing. For that reason, Energy Threads would like to present the heart of teachers around the world through this collection of talented voices. We are looking for pieces that specifically highlight the strength, courage, and commitment of teachers to their students. Pieces must be from the perspective of the teacher so that you can fully highlight the heart and soul of the teacher or mentor you are writing about. Genres are limited to general fiction, realism, magical realism, creative nonfiction, fantasy, and literary.
