Good morning, the best break of dawn hours I’ve spent in a long while! I love what you do. From the pithy editorial to the stories chosen for publication. All of it uplifted and moved me.
For the last three years, I have been writing my mother’s story. One chapter is ready to see the light. It’s chapter two of a collaboratively written memoir (alternating chapters) that M. Colleen Boyle and I have tentatively titled, “From Different Mothers. Who We’ve Become.” I would like to submit my chapter, “Tell Me the Story of How I Was Born” (5000 words) to LITERARY MAMA. I think that my story may be a good fit for your readers.
Please tell me where I can find your guidelines and submission schedule for fall and winter.
Kind regards! Ingeborg
