Brittle Paper 2023 Festive Anthology Call for Submissions

Brittlepaper is thrilled to announce the 2023 submission call for our annual festive anthology at Brittle Paper. The first volume, “HomeGrown Joy,” was a delightful close to 2022 in the realm of literature.

As we approach 2023, they are determined to make it equally memorable! The festive season is a time to cherish the highlights of the past months, to revel in the company of loved ones, and to set our sights on the future with gleaming aspirations. Brittle Paper is committed to preserving the tradition of reflecting on these cherished moments with our literary community. This year, they present an engaging ‘festive trio challenge’ to all you talented writers. The theme for our second volume is “Recipes, Rituals & Resolutions.”

As such, you are cordially invited to submit your poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and essays that revolve around recipes, rituals, and resolutions during any festive holiday. If you have a beloved recipe with an enthralling story behind it, a cherished ritual close to your heart, or a New Year’s resolution, they urge you to articulate your thoughts and share them with us!
