Digging Up Bones
Ends on
I don’t think it’s possible to go through life without experiencing trauma. Some experiences of trauma begin with a small “t,” while others are undeniably of the uppercase variety. Either way, trauma has a way of settling in our bones, impacting how we see and move in the world, often in ways that may not best serve us or those we love.
And yet, we at ELJ Editions strongly believe in the power of resilience and the possibility of post-traumatic growth. We’d love to hear—and publish—the stories of your challenges and pathways forward in a new anthology titled Digging Up Bones: Reflections on Trauma and Recovery.
If you’d like to come dig with us and share your reflections on recovery from trauma, here are the guidelines:
Creative non-fiction only.
Essays must be no longer than 1500 words.
Essays must be previously unpublished.
Contributors who reside in the US will receive one copy of the anthology and a $30 honorarium. Contributors outside the US will receive a PDF and a $30 honorarium.
