Quillkeepers Press is assembling an anthology around a deceptively simple premise: that the self is not a fixed destination but an ongoing project, built and rebuilt from pivot points, missteps, revelations, and the quiet moments in between. The call asks writers to show the blueprints, the rough drafts, and the final builds of that evolution—not merely the polished outcome, but the process of becoming. This is a curatorial frame that rewards interiority and structural honesty over epiphany-as-punchline. The press seeks fiction and flash fiction up to 3,000 words, alongside nonfiction and poetry, with an explicit welcome for humor, gravity, and everything in between. That tonal latitude is significant: the anthology is not looking for a single register of confessional solemnity, but for work that can move between registers without losing its footing. The thematic territory—reinvention, personal history, growth, and the assembly or disassembly of identity—invites fiction that treats character as a construction site rather than a monument. There is no submission fee, and the anthology is edited for a general readership rather than a specialist one. Writers should understand that the competition will be shaped by the volume of submissions and the editors' evident interest in authenticity and nuance. The strongest entries will likely be those that resist the temptation to resolve identity into a tidy lesson, and instead leave some scaffolding visible.
