End of Life Stories

By Amy Mercer

END OF LIFE
Creative Nonfiction is again working with the good folks at SMU Press, this time on a collection tentatively titled “End of Life Stories.”

For this collection, we are seeking essays that explore death, dying, and end of life care. We’re looking for stories from physicians, nurses, hospice workers, counselors, clergy, family members, and others.Narratives should highlight current features, flaws, and advances in the health care system. Essays must be vivid and dramatic; they should combine a strong and compelling narrative with a significant element of research or information.

There is a $20 reading fee–$25 covers the reading fee AND gets you a 4-issue subscription to CNF. Creative Nonfiction editors will award $2500 in prizes.

Submissions must be postmarked by December 31, 2009, and “End of Life Stories” must be clearly marked on the envelope and cover letter.

Please send all manuscripts, accompanied by a cover letter with complete contact information, SASE, and payment (when necessary) to:

Creative Nonfiction
5501 Walnut Street, Suite 202
Pittsburgh, PA 15232

For more information about any of these collections and complete submission guidelines, visit us online or email us at information@creativenonfiction.org.
