DAWN

LIGHT BEYOND

DARKNESS

"never feel guilty for starting again"

– Rupi Kaur

The rising sun brings about a new day, another chance to grow. Its rays can chase away the darkness, both from the past night and from our past selves. Dawn is a symbol of beginnings and new opportunities.

We will be looking for content that reflects birth and rebirth, forward movement, and growth. We are particularly interested in submissions from those who are at the start of their writing journey.

CONNECTIONS

“Invisible threads are the strongest ties.”

– Friedrich Nietzsche

BETWEEN DISTANT WORLDS

Our personal worlds are unique, and therefore so are our experiences. We may notice the people who enter our worlds, or they could pass by without a second glance. Whether they stay for years or a fleeting moment, they have the capacity to touch our hearts, cause us pain, or change our lives.

We are looking for content about the connections between our distant worlds and their significance.

HOPE

THE BRIGHTEST STARS ON THE DARKEST NIGHTS

"Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence."

– Lin Yutang

Our paths may twist and turn and seem to come to dead ends, but there is always a way forward. Our greatest struggles require inner strength and perseverance, and sometimes a little help – but always hope.

We are looking for content about hope and the future to come.

CHOICE

"We all make choices, but in the end, our choices make us."

– Ken Levine

When at a crossroads, we must choose a path. Some choices we must make in life are simple, others are difficult and break our hearts. Sometimes we prevail over our dilemmas – other times, we are hurt or cause hurt. In all cases, the power of choice is ours.

We are looking for content touching on the courage it takes to make difficult choices in life and how those choices have shaped the future.

THE POWER TO CHOOSE, THE POWER TO CHANGE
