Mini Recipe Book

Submissions are currently open for our Mini Recipe Book!

Associated Partners: Madison Leigh O’Hara, Lemon Balm Bakery

Submission deadline has been changed to ROLLING SUBS UNTIL WE FILL SPOTS.

Our reading/response period will be from ongoing, so please try not to retract your submission until you hear from us.

This anthology will only be publishing recipes with literature or visual art attached. All work must be within our guidelines, please be sure to familiarize yourself with them (below) before submitting your recipe(s) to MiniPress.

Guidelines

Only work submitted using the appropriate linked form located below the guidelines will be considered for publication.

The idea behind this anthology is to tap into sense memory. Where were you when you first had this recipe? What memories does it invoke for you when you have it now? Why is this recipe the recipe you want to share? We want the heartwarming and important stories behind your recipes!

Note: Memories and nostalgia can be complicated; oftentimes positive memories are dipped in bittersweet coatings, so please be gentle with yourselves when sifting through your past.

**All submissions must be in .DOC or .DOCX file format.**
