Sun, 02 Sep 2007 08:42:04 -0700

I still need some! The deadline has been extended to September 15th, but I really need them by then. Submissions should be e-mailed (body of the e-mail) to mariah@lonestarma.com. For features, I am looking for essays on the mothering life and advocacy pieces on family and children's issues. Things with a Texas emphasis are always best, but the universal is also fine. I still need:

HipMama.com: Fall Issue -- Community (deadline 9/30ish/07)

Sun, 26 Aug 2007 00:10:08 -0700

I think I'm going to change the front page posts at hipmama switching to an "issue" format rather than "as stuff floats past". We're going to explore themes for a bit. The first theme I want to explore is community. From, of course, a parenting pov. What does it mean to be a part of a community? What happens when having a kid separates you from what you thought was your community? How do you build community? Where have you found new community? How about community & kids? This is a whole huge concept (I've barely touched on it here, feel free to go wild) I think would be great article fodder, so I'm looking for five to six articles to post in, say, early October on the topic.

Mamaphiles #3 - "Coming Home" (deadline 1 October 2007)

Wed, 22 Aug 2007 23:51:07 -0700

We are interested in essays, photos, cartoons, or anything else you can come up with! (Feel free to interpret the theme wildly.)

Because of space limitations, written submissions should be 1500 words or less. Please include a short bio and ordering information for your zine (these will not be part of the word count).
