We’ve had a hell of a time over at Literary Mama to try to figure out how to manage the commentary section. We just decided to start running it as an op-ed and I would be very interested in hearing from you, my brilliant writing/blogging friends!

Opeds will run 500 to 800 words, which means we’re looking for tight, opinionated, focused writing. This is a place to go with your strong opinions about topics important to you as mothers and as creative women. We welcome your controversial topics as long as your argument is sound and compelling. Topical is GREAT!!!

Now 500 to 800 words is basically a blog entry so if you’ve just written a terrific rant, think about sending it to us before you hit “publish.”

Literary Mama doesn’t pay but it means getting fabulous exposure. We get between 40,000 and 50,000 visitors a month and our email list is over 800 members!!! We also had our first anthology come out this month!! In short, it makes for a nice clip! You’ll find yourself in the company of a lot of fabulous writers (check out our site to see) and we LOVE discovering new writers, too, so don’t let lack of clips make you scared of submitting.

You can send your commentary submissions to me at oped@literarymama.com. (I don’t know how often we’ll be updating this section — a lot will depend on how much quality work we get.)
