Welcome to our Calls for Submissions page. Here, we’ll feature new publication opportunities for all our Mama readers. Look for updated posts each month.

If there is a ❤️ next to a call, that means the magazine or press is specifically looking for mother writers. We ❤️ all our Mamas!

Hi there,

I run WordMothers. Thanks so much for including us – just wanted to clarify that we’re a site dedicated to women writers and book industry professionals. We’re not seeking pieces about motherhood and contributors needn’t be parents. Thanks!

Cheers, Nicole

Thank you, Nicole, for that clarification! That is very helpful. I will adjust the post for next time.
