Deadline: 01/06/2010
Women around the world are invited to submit non-fiction essays on the topic of “holding hands”, for publication in the upcoming issue of World Pulse, a magazine that tells of global issues through the eyes of women. The story might explore themes of mentorship, connection, solidarity, violence, relationships, taboo, sensuality, family, love, friendship, healing, bridging difference, or anything in between. We encourage you to broadly interpret the theme.
