The Grace & Gravity series has, over eleven prior volumes, established itself as a sustained literary project rooted in the lived experience of women in the Washington metropolitan region. Grace in Justice, the twelfth installment, turns its attention to the widening fissures in American life—housing insecurity, wage stagnation, debt, food insecurity, caregiving burdens, class stratification, generational wealth, and systemic barriers—and to the resilience that persists despite them. The anthology's title signals its dual mandate: to document hardship without sentimentality, and to locate, where it exists, the possibility of a more just arrangement. The call is explicitly regional and explicitly gendered. It seeks women-identifying writers who reside in the District of Columbia, Maryland, or Virginia, and it welcomes both full-length short stories and literary nonfiction, including flash and micro forms. This is not a general-interest publication; it is a curated volume with a coherent thematic architecture. The editors are assembling work that bears witness—prose that treats inequality not as abstraction but as the material texture of daily life. The anthology's prior volumes have demonstrated a commitment to voices that might otherwise remain outside the national literary conversation, and this call continues that institutional practice. For the writer, the opportunity is publication in a recognized series with a defined readership and a clear editorial identity. There is no prize attached, and the submission fee is $15.00 USD. What the anthology offers is placement within a collective project—a volume that will be read as a whole, not merely as a collection of individual pieces. The curatorial vision is one of disciplined attention: to the specifics of place, to the economics of survival, and to the moral questions that arise when dignity is under pressure.
