SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
From wilderness living to urban gardening, we want your personal stories that reflect a transforming or transcending connection to ‘nature’. We are looking for stories that can open our perspectives conceptually, or ‘show us how’ to do something experientially. We’re talking about living with the earth, not on her. How do women connect with nature, and the reciprocal and essential relationship with the earth and all that is in it?
Guidelines:
Submissions should include: Your story and a brief (50 word) author bio, and include your email address.
SUBMIT TO SPECIFIC WIN BOOKS AS FOLLOWS:
Guidelines:
- Your story must be true.
- Your story should be told in first person
- Good quality writing is as essential to your story, as is your story.
- Your story should relate to a personal experience that then translates into insight, advice, creative ideas, or transcending awareness!
- Your (funny, somber, endearing, emotional or otherwise) story should be between 750 – 2000 words
- If your story is chosen, you will be given author exposure, as well as varied options for compensation including copies of the book, discounts, (and other monetary and non-monetary rewards to be further specified.)

Submissions should include: Your story and a brief (50 word) author bio, and include your email address.
SUBMIT TO SPECIFIC WIN BOOKS AS FOLLOWS:
FOOD The objective of the WIN - Women in Nature on Food book, is to generate an awareness of the food we eat, where it comes from, and how what we eat affects all life on this planet.
We are looking for your true stories about food, particularly stories that celebrate sustainable and organic food and food sources as they relate to our natural environment. We also welcome stories that reflect the emotional relationship humans have with food, as well as stories that encourage an awareness of connection.
SUBMIT YOUR STORIES ON FOOD TO carly.womeninnature@gmail.com DEADLINE for submissions 1 December 2014
ADVENTURE
The objective of the WIN - Women in Nature on Adventure book is to encourage awareness, respect and intimacy as we seek out adventure. We are looking for your true stories about your adventures in, and more significantly ‘with’, nature. Adventures – hiking, climbing, deep sea diving, dog sledding, kayaking, spelunking, wilderness research, horseback riding, swimming, mountaineering, skiing, surfing – can unfortunately sometimes become an activity of disregard and disrespect. We are looking for experiences that celebrate and appreciate the beauty and awe of the natural environment - and instill an intimacy and awareness of reciprocity - while experiencing all of the challenges, adventures, and inspiration nature has to offer!

CHILDREN
The objective of the WIN – Women in Nature on Children book is to encourage the engagement of children with the natural environment, and to nurture an understanding of their existential and intimate relationship with all living things. We are looking for your true stories about children and their relationship with nature. We welcome stories about your childhood experiences in nature, as well as stories about getting children into nature, and your experiences observing children in nature. All stories should move beyond children merely playing an activity outdoors and should focus on the interaction with nature.
