Where all my creative #writers and #poets at?! 🗣 Armed Services Arts Partnership (ASAP) has put out a #callforsubmissions for #prose , #poetry , and #visualart by #Veterans , #ServiceMembers , #caregivers and #militaryspouses . Learn more 👇 Theme: Partnerships, The Untold Stories Partners are an integral aspect of military life, at home and afar, during deployment and after homecoming. Partnerships drive military action and extend beyond being a battle buddy, wingman, or crew member. Some are planned while others arise entirely unexpectedly. Spouses, family, old or new friends, community, faith leaders, and medical specialists all support the military community. Despite their importance, the stories of these partnerships often go untold. This anthology aims to correct that: We will highlight the nuances, surprises, joy, sorrow, heroism, tears, healing power, and ache of partnerships. We invite you to submit the story about partnerships from your journey, so we can help tell it. Submit: https://lnkd.in/e6hATYwr
