We accept submissions for Anchored from any interested writers, and love especially to feature members of the Southern Christian Writers Conference community (whether they've attended our annual conference or other workshop, or are simply involved in our online groups).

We publish personal essays (true stories!), poems, and short fictional stories that focus on our issue’s theme. For our Summer issue--”On the Road”--think about vacations and road trips then tell us a true story from your own experiences or create a fictional story of any genre (mystery, romance, etc.--you decide) or write a poem that fits the theme. You can interpret the theme in any way you see fit. You may want to talk about a real vacation or trip, or perhaps you want to think more figuratively about the way we "travel" through life. Use your creativity!

Our essays, stories, and poems are written by Christian writers with a positive, inspiring tone. Please limit your essays and short stories to 1200 words maximum; poems can be any length and of any style.

We also include advertisements by writers and other creative folks! Prices are as low as $15, and you can reach thousands with your work! (If you're interested, email us at scwritersconference@gmail.com with "Anchored Ads" in the subject line.)

The Summer issue will be published on June 1, and the deadline to submit is May 20. Please send your essay, short story or poem to scwritersconference@gmail.com with "Anchored Summer" in the subject line.
