Relating in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic

How has the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic influenced relationships of all kinds? All of us have been impacted by this global pandemic, one way or another. The way we relate - to each other, to ourselves, to the space we inhabit, to life itself - has changed. Although the past year has, in many ways, stifled creativity, there are also so many ideas and creations waiting to come forward in response to these monumental shifts in our realities. We invite you to explore this theme in any way that feels right to you.

Theme Subcategories

The topic of your submissions can be anything related to the broad theme above.

Below are some recommended ways to consider this theme.

Personal

Physical health, mental health, thought patterns, identity, anything that is intimate within yourself

Interpersonal

Anything that involves another person (or creature) - family, friendship, romance, sex, partnership, pet ownership, interactions with strangers

Environmental

Home, food, nature, objects, tools, anything that is interacted with

Intangible

Time, faith, memory, hope, security, creativity, fear - anything you can’t quite put your finger on

Please note that as this volunteer-based publication gets off the ground, we are unable to compensate for submissions that run in the magazine. We’ll credit and promote your work in every way that we can - in the magazine, on social media, and in a directory of submitters which will live on this website as Issue 01 gets underway. The hope is that it will become a well-used community resource.

Accepted mediums

Anecdote accepts a wide variety of written and visual arts!

From poem to painting, from song to story, from digital to drawing - there is no limit to the type of work we will consider. As long as you can submit it to us in digital form, it will be considered. Send us your poster designs, your free form poems, your photo series, your short stories, your flip book illustrations, your tattoo designs, your song lyrics, your pen and ink drawings, your digital dreams….we want it all.
