OPEN CALL

Kinship Press, a Philadelphia-based imprint, is soliciting personal
essays of not more than 1,500 words from men or women who can tell a
short, uplifting anecdote or thumbnail sketch of a loving, supportive
black father who was willing to make enormous sacrifices to raise
healthy, productive children. The
selected essays will appear in an anthology designed to paint a
well-rounded portrait of black men as loving, committed role models. A
portion of the proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit The
Fatherhood Initiative Program.

The submission should be e-mailed to kinshi...@comcast.net no later
than August 31, 2005. Please include your name, contact information,
and e- mail address with your submission. We encourage you to forward
this request for submissions to black writers' groups, conferences, or
other talented individuals who may be interested in contributing to the
anthology. The authors of the selected essays will receive five copies
of the anthology and have an opportunity to
share in a meaningful project that celebrates the black experience.
