Awakened Voices Submission/ How to submit ($12 + Publication)
Awakened Voices has an open call for submissions for publication on their website.
The mission of Awakenings and Awakened Voices is to make visible the artistic expression of survivors of sexual violence. Show through fiction, creative nonfiction, comics, visual art, or poetry the conversation we need to engage with around sexual violence.
