SHE SAID ANTHOLOGY

2025 Anthology Call for Submissions

Calling writers, artists, photographers to share their written stories and visual images for the She Said: Women’s Voices in Utah Anthology. She Said is a collaboration between the Community Writing Center, Amplify Utah, and SLCC Libraries. This collaboration seeks to gather stories (poetry, essays, dramas, fiction, hybrid and experimental forms) and visual representations of women’s experiences in Utah, a state consistently ranked among the worst for women’s equality in the areas of workplace environment, education, health and political empowerment. The collaboration also includes a workshop series. We’re looking for submissions that explore what it means to live in these cultural, historical, economic, and political contexts. Writers, artists, and photographers of all experience levels are invited to submit. We may ask for revisions and edits where relevant.

We reserve the right not to publish submissions that fall outside the scope and intentions of this anthology project.

DEADLINE: 11:59 pm on May 5, 2024.

Body of Work: A She Said Anthology

he title, "Body of Work," is inspired by the collection of work in this anthology. Body of work - oeu·vre - is borrowed from the French, literally, "work." We are a collection of our experiences, carried in our bodies. A body of work never ends. The entirety of the anthology highlights the different phases of a woman's life which represent the totality of a life lived, a body of work that is collected both with consent and without.
