An Invitation from FWJ and Winds of Change Press

Invitations & Announcements

Orenda Healing International/Winds of Change Press

 Deadline Update:  Due to the ongoing flood of information regarding changes in our political scene and their impact on every aspect of our lives, FWJ has decided to keep readers informed through supplements to FWJ Winter 2025 The Others, which we will publish (online only) every week or two, throughout the Spring and Summer.  The link will be posted here and also on Valentine’s Substack, where readers may leave comments and engage in conversation with the editor and other readers.  Therefore the deadline for submissions to FWJ Collateral Damage 3:  Boots on the Ground is extended to  July 1, 2025, and the deadline for the cookbook/memoir Figs in Winter is extended to July 30, 2025.

FWJ Winter 25:  Collateral Damage 2: The Others. 

We’re not all alike. People and their customs take many forms— some of which we may not fully understand. What we don’t understand, we don’t trust. What we don’t trust, we fear. What we fear, we hate. How does the practice of “othering” affect us and our world?  Please share your thoughts with us here:

FWJ Winter 2025 the Others is here now!

 

FWJ Summer/Fall 2025:  Collateral Damage 3: Boots on the Ground. 

Out-and-out warfare is not the only cause of collateral damage. As we are seeing in our current events, there are many other forms of acquisition and domination that wreak havoc in society and individual lives.

Submission Deadline July 1 2025.

Winds of Change Press invites you to send us your delicious recipes and the memories that accompany them for Figs in Winter, a cookbook and memoir honoring family, friends, and food.

Submission Deadline July 30, 2025.
