Call for Submissions: Good Men Project and Other Publications
Good Men Project

For an upcoming book, The Good Men Project is seeking vivid, compelling essays from 13- to 19-year-old boys that explore this topic: Describe a moment that changed you. We’re looking for essays about family, identity, loss, conflict, friendship, sex, relationships, gender, sexuality, addiction, and anything else that may have changed you or profoundly impacted your life. Nothing is off limits. We want the opposite of what you might write for the essay portion of the SAT. Don’t tell us what you think we want to hear. Tell us the truth of your experience. Guidelines: Essays must be previously unpublished, double-spaced, and between 1,000 and 4,000 words. Be sure to include your name, email, and contact number on the top of the first page. The deadline for this first round of submissions (we will likely have a second round in the fall) is July 1st, 2010. You can get the essay to us in one of two ways. 1) Email the essay to goodmenprojectbook2@gmail.com. Be sure to attach the essay as a word document and to paste the essay in the body of the email. OR 2) Mail the essay the old fashioned way to Good Men Boys Book, c/o Allison Matlack, 490 B Boston Post Road, Sudbury, MA, 01776. Essays should be stapled. Submissions will not be returned.

About The Good Men Project. It started as a book. Then a film. It has since grown into national discussion about what it means to be a good man in the 21st century. There’s been a series of live events. And an online platform that includes Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and a slew of other sites. An online magazine is launching June 1, 2010. The Good Men Project is also a part of the Good Men Foundation, a registered 501(3)c charitable organization designed to help men and boys at risk.
