Pocketful of Moxie e-zine was recently co-created by female life explorer Shawn Cote, author of The Fat Girl Now 50% Lighter. Teaming up as an incredible duo with friend Shaunna Hargrave – these ladies have a vision that will see stories published by women all over the world so that others may experience life from different perspectives – through the eyes of those who choose to share a piece of their story.
This world isn’t for the faint of heart – and we could all learn a thing or two from each other no matter where in this world we walk our path. That’s moxie.
Pocketful of Moxie wants to encourage and support all who participate as well as teach life’s lessons through the sharing of those experiences. We also acknowledge that the process of writing and sharing our stories can be quite therapeutic!
We seek to encourage female writers to go beyond what they believe they are capable of – to step outside that comfort zone and spread their wings through the power of words, photographs, poetry or other expressive element.
Moxie – you know you have some!
Call for Submissions
Pocketful of Moxie is looking for articles by female writers of all types for true life stories, reflections on journeys past, and intentions for positive futures. In particular, Pocketful of Moxie is seeking stories about growing up female, relationship lessons, life and finances (how to cope and succeed), motherhood, aging, dealing with family, bereavement and loss, life’s journey, goal-setting, and positive ideas to move forward through life.
It’s time to show off your moxie!
Suggestions for publication ideas are always welcome. For ideas outside of the scope listed above, please submit your article concept/abstract to the editor prior to submission of any actual writing.
It is essential that writers understand that Pocketful of Moxie is a non-fiction women’s magazine, not simply another version of a news stand gossip rag. Pocketful of Moxie isn’t interested in publishing gloomy stories about social problems, illness and death (although we may print some).
We love humorous writing, too. The more fun, the better!
