Writers

Scalawag is looking for writers to contribute pieces on Southerners navigating grief. I particularly want to hear from Black Southerners. Grief is an inescapable part of life. a return to, escape and removal from oneself — in so many ways. Scalawag aims to spark critical conversations about the many Souths where we live, love, and struggle. It amplifies voices of activists, artists, and writers to reckon with Southern realities as they are, rather than as they seem to be. Grief and Other Loves is Scalawag’s series that aims to memorialize our collective losses. For more information, visit their website. Before applying, review submission guidelines.
