Dear Pa, What Remains Unsaid! Submissions Open For New Anthology

"Dads are most ordinary men turned by love into heroes, adventurers, story-tellers, and singers of song." — Pam Brown

Dear Writers,

Father's Day is here, and what better way to commemorate this day than by expressing those unsaid and unexpressed emotions and love towards your father. It's usually seen that we are more comfortable, or have always felt it's easy, to share our hearts' emotions with our mothers.

Thus, we thought that we should dedicate one special edition of an anthology holding poems, prose, open letters or even non-fiction articles/essays through which you want to share or express that special unsaid love for your father.

A few of our simple guidelines for making the process smooth on both ends ...

1. Share any one of your creations in any particular genre you would prefer to express your emotions for your father. ( Which means you can either send in a poem, a prose piece, an open letter or even a non-fiction essay to us.)

2. For poetry, any length is welcome; for prose, an open letter or a non-fiction essay, 1500 to 2000 words maximum.

3. Submit your piece by 30th July 2026, till midnight, with #fatherthemesubmission in the subject line.

4. Send in your recent Bio and one current image in HD, along with your submission to editorialmagazinecc@gmail.com

5. All submissions must be made in a DOCX. file.

6. The selected works will be notified via email, and the writers will have to pay a publishing fee of INR. 1500 for which they will get four author copies and one E-certificate/physical certificate of Publishing.

7. The anthology will be published under our - The Great Book Project Initiative

Happy Submissions!
