When I decided that this year was my year of writing, I also set a goal of submitting to at least two different spaces over the year.

Last week, I sent in a piece to Bitch Media, which I found on another blog post (I apologize I did not keep my resource on that…). That was a spontaneous submission and am waiting to hear back on it.

Today’s was a planned submission to Something Or Other Publishing (SOOP) since I had come across their call for short stories to enter their open submission contest last year. Although I have no idea if it will get selected, it is not that important that I win anything, but that I at least submitted my work into the public sphere intentionally.

Most of my writing has been for me and if readers come across my work ‘by accident’ then I have been fine with that. However, I would like readers to buy my novel when it is finished as well as any future pieces I might put out there. So, I have to take the steps to get the readers, right?

That’s where you, mysterious reader, come in! In order for my submission to get judged, I have to have votes! All votes are only based on my synopsis, which is rather short, but hopefully interesting enough that you and others might want to read the full piece.

So, here’s what you’d be voting on:

‘What is a Global Citizen?’ By OSH

A memoir style story of discovering my identity as a Korean adoptee growing up in America, but realizing the world sees me much differently so that I must reshape my own sense of who I am as a Global Citizen.

If it sounds interesting to you, then please vote here! **Do note that you’ll be providing an email address and in order for your vote to count, you have to stay signed up for the duration of the contest; otherwise, they remove your vote.

Thank you in advance for your support and here’s to more submissions in the future!
