My friend Ben Goldfard ([email protected]) at Yale asked me to forward this along.
_________________________________________________________________________ Sage Magazine, a student-run publication at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, is looking for works of journalism, literary nonfiction, and essay that address nature, the environment, and sustainability. We strive to publish work that blurs the boundaries between human and natural systems, that links environmental issues with social justice and well-being. The only qualification for entry, however, is that your piece has not been previously published. Big bucks — not to mention eternal glory — could be yours: First prize is $500, second is $300, and third is $200. All finalists will be published online and possibly in print, and will be read by a panel of celebrity judges, including Bill McKibben (founder of 350.org), Florence Williams (author of Breasts), Carl Zimmer (science writer at the New York Times and elsewhere), and Jon Mooallem (contributing writer at the New York Times Magazine). The deadline for submissions is April 19, and we ask that you limit your submissions to 6,000 words. Please email your work to [email protected]. Good luck, and give us your best! -- Max Lambert MS 2013 PhD Student School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, Yale University Fellow, Hixon Center for Urban Ecology 2012-2013 619-990-7242 http://environment.yale.edu/skelly/max.html
