Thank you for taking the time to submit your work.
Ode to Them open calls are designed to create meaningful opportunities for artists, writers and image-makers across disciplines. We review every submission with care and welcome experimental, emerging and established voices alike.
This week's writers' prompt explores Folktales.
We're interested in stories that draw from myth, oral tradition, superstition, local legends and family histories, as well as contemporary retellings of old narratives.
For inspiration, you might revisit writers such as Angela Carter, Ben Okri, Margaret Atwood, Helen Oyeyemi or Italo Calvino - but we're equally excited by work rooted in your own cultural traditions, memories and imagined worlds.
