I feel like people are excited to submit, but aren’t reading the requirements. If you want to positively amplify the work we do, wonderful! We welcome that. Raising Mothers is dedicated to Black & brown parenting narratives and storytelling on a whole.

Thank you so much! Still feeling overwhelmed here, but happy. ♥️

Send us your craft pieces, essays, interviews, reviews, book lists and roundups, fiction, excerpts, flash and comics! We’re also very open to limited or ongoing series: serial fiction, and other themed columns.
