"What would happen if one woman told the truth about her life? The world would split open."
—Muriel Rukeyser

The True Words Anthology is an annual members-only newsletter, published each Spring, and made up of stories and poetry to showcase the wonderful writing of our members.

We only accept submissions from women who are dues-paying SCN members.

There is no theme for the anthologies, and we accept prose and poetry and both short and long pieces, though greater consideration is given to shorter pieces. The word limit for prose is 1000 words and for poetry, 40 lines. We accept up to three pieces per author for consideration.

Members: to read this year's anthology online, go to the Members Only site and click on "True Words Anthology" under the Writing Resources tab.

To submit your writing to the True Words Anthology, see our call for submissions. Members only, please.
