Anticipated Publication: 2027 | Proposals Due: December 31, 2026

This collection asks how men can break free from the chains of patriarchal conditioning. What does it look like when men step into a healed, healthy, and sacred masculinity? And how do we get there?

We are seeking essays, personal narratives, and critical perspectives from writers of all genders who are doing the work of dismantling patriarchal programming and imagining a better way forward.

Open call and invitation. All voices welcome.

A collection of personal stories celebrating the lived life of bell hooks

Anticipated Publication: 2028 | Proposals Due: September 25, 2027

bell hooks changed the way we think.  She is quoted near and far.  There even is a phone number which will read some of her work aloud to you when called.  But this book is not about her inimitable academic legacy.  Rather, this is about the moments that don’t show up in lectures and reports.

This is a book on her ideas, but on her humanity.  This book is about the way she made people feel. We are gathering personal stories, remembrances, and reflections from those who knew her in quieter moments, when she was not bell hooks, but Gloria Watkins.

Primarily by invitation, though those with a close personal connection to her life and work are warmly encouraged to reach out with a proposal.
