Baseball Issue: Creative Nonfiction
www.creativenonfiction.org
In collaboration with Southern Methodist University's new "Sport in American
Life" series, Creative Nonfiction will publish a special issue called "Anatomy
of Baseball," for which manuscripts are invited.
Submissions for the "Anatomy of Baseball" issue (scheduled for publication in
spring 2007) should focus on a specific aspect of the sport. Potential topics
might include:
positionsâ€â€for example, playing shortstop or catcher
equipmentâ€â€the mitt, the bat, the ball, etc.
rulesâ€â€for example, the changing strike zone or the D.H.
special skillsâ€â€such as throwing a curve ball or stealing bases
Memoir or stories of personal experience are welcome, as are profiles of
players, managers, coaches, umpires or others. Possible subjects for this issue
are limitless, but a strong focus on one aspect of the sport is essential.
Ideally, essays will combine a strong and compelling narrative with a significant
element of research or information.
Submissions must be received by February 1, 2006
