The Fertile Source accepts photos, artwork, literary essays, poems, and fiction on fertility-related themes. We also accept book and magazine reviews on fertility-related publications, and will consider interviews with fertility, infertility, and adoption specialists.
And yes, “fertility-related themes” include infertility, abortion, miscarriage, and adoption as well as childbirth, pregnancy, birth control, sex, postpartum depression, breastfeeding, and becoming a parent. Please note that parenting topics are fine, but must directly relate to fertility.

Poetry submissions should be sent to the Tania Pryputniewicz at tania [at] catalystbookpress.com. For poetry, please send 2-4 poems in the body of the email. If that messes up line breaks, please send as an ms word doc or an .rtf (rich-text-format) file.
