Call for Submissions for Indopantheology: Stories from the Spiritual Margins

OD Ekpeki Presents has announced a submissions call for Indopantheology: Stories from the Spiritual Margins, a new anthology co-edited by Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki, Rimi B. Chatterjee & Mary Anne Mohanraj. Submissions are open until March 31, 2024.

Indopantheology maps the realm of the spiritual imagination, comprising all soul-matters from the most worldly of dreams to the most numinous of visions. If that is what you wish to explore, then this call is for you. We want stories from the wilder thickets of the spiritual world, the old places, the cultures and peoples that have been looted, disrespected and forgotten….

While the focus of this volume will be on South Asia and its many spiritual streams that defy the categories of organised religion, we are willing to accept spirit-stories from anyone in the wider Indoasian world. Please note that there are volumes currently in progress for other geographical regions with relations to South Asia, such as Africa, the Caribbean, etc.

Payment is a flat rate of $100 per story, with no formal word limit, but a preference for works under 10,000 words.

For more information, including complete guidelines, see the announcement from Ekpeki. Additional information about OD Ekpeki Presents/The Pantheologist series can be found on Ekpeki’s website.
