MFNERC’s publishing unit is now accepting submissions for a new anthology entitled Voice: Appropriation and Representation in Canada, to be published in 2018. The anthology will feature works from emerging and established Indigenous Canadian writers with a focus on cultural appropriation and Indigenous representation in this country and its effects, from a historical or contemporary perspective.

We are looking for pieces in the areas of fiction, creative non-fiction, essay, or poetry. Your work must address the anthology’s theme in compelling ways from an Indigenous perspective and will be assessed based on artistic and educational merit.

Word length: 2,500-5,000 words for fiction, non-fiction, or essay. Two to three pieces for poetry, with a submission maximum of five.

Payment: 7 cents/word for fiction, non-fiction or essay, and $75 per published poem. Please send your piece(s) in a .doc file along with a brief bio and list of previously published works to: publishing@mfnerc.com.

Submission period closes February 28, 2018.
