Wild Women Story Contest
(Spring/Summer issue)

Deadline: March 8 (International Women's Day) 
Release: May 15​

This contest is based on the radical idea that history and the present moment are not (cannot be) just a series of wars and domination—destruction.

The creative life force carried forward through the millennia, frankly, does not get enough appreciation, and the creative force and the Wild are innate in the Feminine spirit.

We are looking for empowering stories (written by anyone) whose main characters embody the Wild Woman spirit. 

We want stories about finding the Wild, reclaiming the Wild, experiencing the Wild, being the Wild, staying Wild. We especially love stories about the ways women use their power to create and shape the world, and stories about discovering—or remembering—this power in the first place.

Stories can be fiction, nonfiction, or poetry—as usual, if it tells a story, it fits!

*****

All around the world, women are stepping forward
to invite back their authentic, creative,
wonderfully unique selves.
We are shedding the old, faded clothes of war,
domination, competition, jealousy, and repression.
We are rising like the sun, shining big and bright as the full moon. We are saying yes to the power of fierce love, compassion, constant authenticity, and vulnerability.
