CALLING ALL WRITERS 

NCSPP’s Impulse is looking for writers for our Potential Space column. Potential Space encourages writers to explore their experiences, wonderings, and vulnerabilities as they encounter the world through a psychoanalytic lens. The writing is reflective and not academic. You could contribute an essay, a poem, or even a journal entry. We are interested in conversations about politics, gender, culture, climate, art, literature, movies, and psychoanalysis. We are especially interested in uplifting voices of folks of color, immigrants, and marginalized folks. We are looking for regular contributors and once-in-a-while writers as well. Also, we will help you with editing your writing as well as finding a topic.

If you are in any way interested, please feel free to write Luba Palter, Impulse Editor-in-Chief, at lpalter@ncspp.org and she will be happy to tell you more.
