Mirrorball: How Taylor Swift Reflects the Loss, Hope & Love of Millions Around the World
Mirrorball: How Taylor Swift Reflects the Loss, Hope & Love of Millions Around the World is an anthology of writings from around the world inspired by Taylor Swift, her music and her call to fans globally to cry and laugh and dance and mourn and grow together. More than anything, the anthology mirrors the joy that has come from sharing our lives with one another the way Taylor’s lyrics of love and loss, of betrayal and of chosen family, have made all the Swifties around the globe feel less alone.
We are calling for contributions from all nations, all genders, all ages and all levels of fandom.
Whether you have published a dozen books or you are in school dreaming of your first publication, whether you spent hours making outfits to attend the Eras Tour or you were just your children’s driver, whether you danced alongside tens of thousands or cried alone with your headphones on—send us your work.
We especially encourage submissions from writers who have been historically underrepresented in literary publishing.
We welcome submissions now through January 31, 2024.
Please submit 1-3 poems or prose up to 3500 words.
