Our November Calls for Submissions roundup is here; good luck sending your work out into the world!

For each issue of Literary Mama, Literary Reflections shares a writing prompt inviting our readers to respond. Our editors provide feedback on these responses, and we post our favorites on the blog. This month’s writing prompt is inspired by Natalie Singer-Velush’s essay, “Bernadette and Me,” and Cheryl Anne Latuner’s essay, “Baby at My Breast—The Path to a Book.”

If you’re in need of a little inspiration, head to one of these fall conferences and festivals where you can connect with those in your tribe.
