Open Call: Novel Gnosis

Posted by on in Paths Blogs

Readers of this blog have seen me write about "novel gnosis," insights I learned through writing my unpublished behemoth Some Say Fire. Talking with other writers about novel gnosis showed me that this experience is fascinatingly different for everyone. So many people were excited about the idea that it's turning into a book. I'm editing an anthology of essays about novel gnosis. 

Open call for nonfiction essays

Book Title: Novel Gnosis

Topic: Wisdom, spiritual insights, or religious epiphanies learned through writing fiction

Word Count of each essay: 4,000 to 8,000

Format: doc or rtf

Pay: Equal share of royalties divided by the authors

Publisher: Spero Publishing / Caliburn Press

Editor: Erin Lale

Deadline: June 1, 2016

Further details:

Each chapter will be an essay by a different author on what they've learned through inspiration to write fiction, through applying the universal truths of their lives to fiction, and other gnosis learned through the process of writing. Automatic writing, dreams and visions, rational realization gleaned from thinking a lot about one's life, characters taking on a life of their own, wherever this wisdom comes from, it all qualifies as long as it occurred due to writing fiction.

To submit:

Send your essay and a cover letter including a short author bio to:

epsubmit@sonic.net

    Hi Erin,

    Does one's novel have to be completed at the time the essay is submitted or the book is released? I am 35K words into my book, but it will be a while yet until it is complete.

    Hi Jenn,

    Your fiction doesn't have to be finished, as long as you learned something from it.

    :) Erin
