What type of submissions you are looking for: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS – Anthology For a new anthology, The Places We?ve Been: Field Reports from Travelers Under 35, we are currently looking for nonfiction narratives that challenge conventional tourism. From West Africa to Vietnam, Tokyo to Paris, the book?s focus is to show exactly where on the map our wide peer group has gone so far, and the distinctive niche of travel experiences that defines us. The book, which is an anthology of literary nonfiction, aims to draw readers through its vivid and transportive stories, told by the most adventurous and insightful of our group?s literary and raconteur peers. Examples of the types of stories we?re looking to include, are:- A Chicago native?s true story of four days spent stuck on a boat on the Amazon River, after the annual folkloric festival in Parintins- An American school teacher?s reportage from Cameroon, of a day spent dodging machete blades and hiding from the angry mob that overtook her campus after a controversial election- A Japanese New Yorker?s tale of one year spent tending bar at her aunt?s Tokyo nightclub and learning about the private lives and secrets of her mother?s extended family- An asthmatic hedge fund analyst?s strident portrayal of his month-long trek through Central Asia from Kathmandu to Everest Base Camp SUBMISSION is open through October 2012. In addition to personal experience, the narrative should portray a strong sense of place. Creative nonfiction is the name of the game. There?s no set form, but memoir, literary journalism, essay, profile, ethnography, and interview (among other forms) are all welcome.
