| Title | YOUNG LATINA/O MEMOIR ANTHOLOGY |
| Body | From: "Anselmo Villanueva" Now seeking ambassadors of the heart, voyagers of the soul. Destination: a collection of memoir essays written by high school and college-aged Latinos and Latinas. Join us on a voyage to gather original, unpublished works that reflect actual life experiences of the authors. These accounts will offer insights and reflections to an audience of other young adults. We are seeking essays rich with resonant, physical detail and firmly rooted in a sense of both place and time. Use your words to illustrate an important life story and become part of the new generation of Latino voices in America. We are looking for writers who can talk in tongues -- speaking the languages of experience, dreams, disappointments, successes -- to be published in a ground-breaking anthology telling how it is today in the post-Chicano Movement era.
