About

This year, we’re looking for stories — fiction, nonfiction, and everything in between — about those moments that present a fork in the road and an opportunity to go left or right, choose A or B, follow your gut or follow someone else’s direction. You know the kind: Even when it’s not clear at the time, the moment is a turning point for you, your characters, your country.

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions. (Note: About 9% of anthologies always charge fees.)
