I just came across an interesting opportunity (via Aerogramme) for writing focused on our relationship with meat:
Issue #69 (Winter) — Theme: “MEAT”
Humans have hunted, trapped, and killed animals for their “meat” (Old English mete = food) from at least as far back as our “hunter-gatherer” days. From guinea pigs to bison, quail to turkeys, oolichans to whales, we’ve tried them all. The human relationship with meat will be explored in fiction, memoir, and essay.
Mark envelope “Meat”
Deadline for submissions: Sept. 1st, 2014 (postmarked)
