Forwarded from the Anarchist People of Color NYC List-serve.

The deadline for general submissions to My Baby Rides the Short Bus was July 1, 2008. We are really pleased with the strong and thought-provoking essays we have received and look forward to publishing an amazing anthology. To fill some holes we see, we will still be accepting a small number of submissions on the topics listed below (or possibly others as suggested by you). We are particularly interested in receiving submissions from dads, young parents, older parents and/or people of color. Also, we have a disproportionately high number of essays about autism, and while we will definitely consider more of those, we’d like to see contributions for parents dealing with other disabilities.

Topics:

*Working outside of the system–creating alternatives

*Living in an intentional community with a special needs kid

*Homeschooling or unschooling with special needs*Alternative treatments

*Out of home placements

*Kids growing older

*Disability activism

*Influence of parenting a child with disabilities on intimate parental relationships/relationships with other family members

Please email shortbusbook@yahoo.com to discuss a deadline. If you email us, check also in your spam folder for a response-we have been finding a few messages have been filtered out by more sensitive emails, but we respond to everyone.

Submissions should be 2,000 to 5,000 words and typed, double-spaced, and paginated. Please include your address, phone number, email address, and a short bio on the last page.
