A project of In Fact Books (see other related projects).

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

About

For an upcoming anthology--tentatively entitled, Oh, Baby: True Stories About Tiny Humans--In Fact Books is seeking new essays about all things related to babies. We want well-written, true narratives about the art and science/wonder and struggle of birth, babyhood, and childrearing. Whether it's about adopting them or making them, raising them or 'sitting them, loving them or fearing them, if you've got a story about tiny humans at the outset of life, we want to read it. Essays must be vivid and dramatic; they should combine a strong and compelling narrative with an informative or reflective element, and reach beyond a strictly personal experience for some universal or deeper meaning. We’re looking for well-written prose, rich with detail and a distinctive voice; all essays must tell true stories and be factually accurate.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for some submissions. Look for the fees icon.
