"This work is unlike any other, in its range of rich, conjuring imagery and its dexterity, its smart voice. Carroll-Hackett doesn’t spare us—but doesn’t save us—she draws a blueprint of power and class with her unflinching pivot: matter-of-fact and tender." —Jan Beatty

Mid-Week Call for Submissions Love <3 Bloodletters: A Space for Healing

Bloodletters Literary Magazine – A Space For Healing
“Bloodletters Literary Magazine – A Space For Healing is a journal for those who have been affected by physical, mental or emotional trauma. We seek the best unpublished nonfiction and poetry intended to heal.
 
The trauma spectrum is long and broad. Trauma means living with and through abuse and assault. It’s being violated. It’s being held at gunpoint. It’s returning home after facing the horrors of war. It’s being physically or emotionally tortured. The definition of trauma is very individual, and different for everyone – the experiences may be different, but the effects are often the same.
 
Tell us how you endured, moved on, and got past your trauma. It could help someone else understand and come to terms with their own experience.”
 
Please visit www.bloodletterslitmag.com for more information and to get a feel for the kind of writing they seek.
