Survival & Beyond Submission Form

Survival & Beyond Submission Form - Issue 4

The Survivor Anthology Project creates collections of work that include the diversity, creativity, and resilience of survivors’ experiences. Survival & Beyond is committed to telling the varied and important stories and experiences of survivors. We welcome submissions of prose, poetry, photography, visual artwork, and hybrid pieces. Your submission can be about your survivor story, but it doesn’t have to be.
Issue 4: Home

Issue 4 of Survival & Beyond seeks creative writing and visual artwork that explores and connects to the theme of “home.” "Home" serves as a lens for examining a concept, a sensation, and a place we’ve all uniquely experienced. The theme of “home” can be interpreted as a physical structure, a person, a mental or emotional state, a feeling of belonging, or displacement, and so much more. All submissions should be submitted by survivors of domestic violence or relationship abuse.
