Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (April 2021). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

Quillkeepers Press is putting together an anthology in honor of parents. We are looking for poetry, prose poetry, short stories, and short essays or memoirs to include in our publication. We are interested in works that speak on parenting and grandparenting. Send us your pieces regarding your parents, your kids, your grandparents, your childhood memories, what it was like growing up in your household, and everything between. We are particularly interested in pieces that highlight hope, love, and parenting parables.
