Scalawag is looking for writers

Scalawag is looking for writers to contribute pieces on Southerners navigating grief. I particularly want to hear from Black Southerners. Grief is an inescapable part of life. a return to, escape and removal from oneself — in so many ways.

Grief and Other Loves is Scalawag’s series that aims to memorialize our collective losses.
