Girl God Books is accepting submissions for The Wisdom of Cerridwen: Transforming in Her Cosmic Brew.

Edited by Emma Clark, Pat Daly and Trista Hendren

Cover Art by Reti Toriella

Scheduled publication: 2025

Some possible themes to consider in poetry, story, personal writing and art:
  • Cerridwen as Mother: how do we change and transform as mothers? What are the greatest challenges of motherhood? (according to the myth of Cerridwen, even Goddesses find this tricky to navigate!)
  • Cerridwen’s Cauldron of Inspiration: what is at the heart of our own brew? How has She inspired us?
  • Cerridwen as Star Goddess and the swirling cauldron of creation
  • Cerridwen as Witch – how is this archetype interpreted through time? 
  • Cerridwen as Shapeshifter: how do we shapeshift to adapt?
  • Cerridwen as Initiator
  • Cerridwen as Celtic Queen of the Otherworld
  • Cerridwen’s anger – how can our sacred rage lead to transformation?
  • Cerridwen’s Womb – the Cauldron of the Goddess
Submission Guidelines:

Please send your finished piece in a Word document. 2,500 word limit. Calibri size 12 font is preferred. Please do not use any fancy formatting or fonts as it creates more work on our end. Make sure to spell check before you submit. Art should be sent in high resolution as a JPG. You may submit more than one piece for consideration, but due to the volume of submissions, please only send your best work and keep it on topic. 

We do not accept work created with Artificial Intelligence. 

Please also include a bio in the third person under 150 words.

Please send your submissions to submissions@girlgod.org by September 30, 2024 with the book title in your subject line. Please note that we cannot accommodate any late submissions or corrections.
