Engaging in week 4: Investigating the Topic of Camaraderie in Longform Writing
The Writing Marathon, hosted by the International Independent Lifestyle Journal, is continuing its run with Week 4, focusing on the theme of "Belonging". This week-long event invites writers to delve into feelings of connection, identity, and acceptance, and share their thoughts through poetry, stories, essays, or quotes.
The Writing Marathon, open to all, regardless of age or experience, begins on Monday, March 24, and concludes on Sunday, March 30. To submit your work, simply click on the provided submission form.
Participants will be rewarded with a Digital Certificate of Publication, Digital Certificate of Participation, Custom Author Poster, Social Media Shoutout, and guaranteed publication within 24 hours.
The Writing Marathon kicked off with the theme "Mothering", and since then, it has continued to feature inspiring works. Week 2 focused on "Resilience", showcasing standout pieces by Ashima Syal, Angel Mary, Dr. Khushboo Fatima, Helan Jose, and Ayana Kuttampalli. Week 3's theme was "Hope", and it featured works by Ashreeta Mohanty, Siljiya Francis, Ashima Syal, Angel Mary, and Ashika Umesh.
It is essential to note that while the specific submission guidelines for Week 4's theme, "Belonging", may not be found directly on the journal's website, they can be inferred from general practices in similar writing marathons and independent journals. These may include a word limit, around 1000 words maximum, sending submissions to a specific email address, and a submission fee. Contributors may also be required to include their name and a brief bio with their submission.
Late submissions are generally not accepted, and selected works are published together with the theme prompt shortly after the submission deadline. No revisions or corrections are accepted after submission. Some journals may not send acceptance or rejection letters but publish selected works publicly.
To ensure accuracy, it is always best to check the official website or contact the organisers directly for precise and current submission guidelines. If you need assistance in preparing a submission, feel free to reach out for guidance.
