We are looking for fiction, poetry and artwork that explores what it means to be mixed-race – whether it's through family, language, food, the way you see yourself or society sees you.
We want innovative work that will look at mixedness through a new and personal lense, and would love work that moves away from the concept of greyness or not being enough of any of your ethnicities when it comes to being multiracial, and instead closer to how that multiracial identity makes you fully you. Exploration of one's identity is a diverse and fluid journey, and Middleground wants to honour that. We accept:
Submissions:
Non-fiction up to 2,500 words
Fiction up to 2,500 words
Up to three poems per submission
Illustrations, photography, digital artwork, etc.
We only accept one submission per person for fiction and non-fiction, up to three poems for poets and up to 4 pieces for artists. All contributors will be paid a small, symbolic fee.
