Islam on My Side

Details: www.islamonmyside.com

Seeking nonfiction contributions for an anthology of the
individual voices of Muslims Americans living their lives post-9/ll. The collection will be works of creative nonfiction that address the following themes: How has
life changed for you post-9/11? More specifically, how did the events of 9/11 impact the way you present yourself as a Muslim? Has your view of other Muslims changed? Do you believe the way your friends, family or peers view you has changed? Has your view of yourself as a Muslim been altered?
 
I am looking for honest and compelling essays that illuminate the many and varied experiences of the members of our ummah. I hope to present a broad
spectrum of voices; voices from Muslims of both genders, all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds. There are many kinds of Muslims out there, and I want to hear from all of you. At this time I cannot promise compensation for your submissions. However, I will be pursuing funding for this collection with the goal of compensating every writer featured in the collection.
 
Send your prose and queries tosubmissions@islamonmyside.com
 This is a chance for us to take that control back and present ourselves to the world with our own voices; to give the world a chance to absorb what we have to say. Writing our stories down allows us to reflect heavily on every word so that we can be certain we've said what we mean. Please take this opportunity to tell your own story the way you believe it should be told.
 
I will work with writers on editing accepted submissions, but will not consider submissions rife with spelling and grammar errors, or that do not have a clear and cohesive structure to the story being told. Also, your prose must have a working title. Submissions should be double-spaced in standard 12 point font (preferable Times New Roman) and should not exceed 30 pages. This work should not have been published elsewhere. Paper submissions will be requested at a later date. As yet, there is no submission deadline.
 
In the body of your email, please include the following information about yourself: Name, age, what you do (job, parent, student, etc.), your contact information (address, email address, phone number). Please do not send fiction and poetry submissions at this time, although I do plan to solicit those in the future for a companion collection. For now, I will be reading only non-fiction.
 

I am a Muslim-American mother and writer. I am not an Islamic scholar-I just live Islam day by day and try to do my best inshaAllah. My goal with this blog and anthology to reach out to Muslims and non-Muslims alike by presenting voices that speak across the broad spectrum of life and faith

Poemcrazy is the poetic analog to Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird or Natalie Goldberg's Writing Down the Bones, two classic works on how to forget that you "can't write" and just start the pen moving. Susan Wooldridge is a swimming instructor in the wide ocean of language, encouraging us to move ever farther from the shore, dive deep, and dance on the waves.
A Poetry Handbook This slender guide by Mary Oliver deserves a place on the shelves of any budding poet. In clear, accessible prose, Oliver (winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award for poetry) arms the reader with an understanding of the technical aspects of poetry writing. Her lessons on sound, line (length, meter, breaks), poetic forms, tone, imagery, and revision are illustrated by a handful of wonderful poems. What could have been a dry account is infused throughout with Oliver's passion for her subject, which she describes as "a kind of possible love affair between something like the heart (that courageous but also shy factory of emotion) and the learned skills of the conscious mind." One comes away from this volume feeling both empowered and daunted. Writing poetry is good, hard work.
