ANLP Contributions
A New Leaf Newsletter needs stories, poems, etc. that are centered around recovery. Of particular need are 800-1500 word feature pieces. Typically, the submission deadline is the 10th of the month, but they are in dire need now, so please send something in as soon as possible. The key ask is that it focuses on what happened and what it is like now rather than what it was like. Please send submissions to stories@anewleafpublications.org.
