New Voices Creative Writing Proposal Submission Form
How might we reimagine our craft? Our genre? Our classroom practices? Our canon? All
interpretations of RE: are welcome. Consider: revision, envisioning, reimagining, reshaping,
restructuring, etc.
Creative Writers are welcome to submit multiple session proposals. Session types may include,
but are not limited to: conference presentations, workshops with notable authors, readings,
generative writing sessions, panel discussions, and more. Some focuses may include, but are not
limited to: writing practices, craft and technique, editing, publishing, pedagogy, reading as a
writer, and any other topics relating to the life of the writer.
Writers interested in reading may submit solo proposals in order to be matched based on
availability, or may submit proposed group readings on a theme. We seek submissions of
creative nonfiction, fiction, and poetry related to topics of returning, responding, reassessing, and
recalibrating, especially with regard to re-seeing or re-negotiating traditional or foundational
tropes, symbols, experiences, and voices. Hybrid forms are also welcome, but should be noted as
such in your proposal. All writers who would like to read during a session should submit a
sample of their work. Prose writers should submit up to 1,000 words, poets should submit 3-5
poems.
