Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (May 2024). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

Caitlin Press invites submissions from Canadian writers who have had a personal experience of post-partum depression for a non-fiction anthology. BEYOND BLUE will feature diverse stories from all aspects of the post-partum mental health spectrum, from PPD, PPD/A, PP/psychosis and more, written by the birthing parent, partner parent and/or adoptive parents. We want to hear about all the experiences under the PPD umbrella, from the hospital rooms to the nursery, the therapist’s couch to the support group, from the grief to the unexpected joys, the dark days and the sunny ones—the heartbreak, healing and hope to be found in this experience. We particularly invite marginalized writers to submit, including BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and all others who may not see their stories told in mainstream narratives.
