Carnival time!

I’ve got a bunch of blog carnivals to share with you. For those unfamiliar with the term, blog carnivals collect posts on a particular topic from a range of bloggers. It’s a great way to promote yourself and find new bloggers to read.

The Asian Women Carnival: I’m very fond of this carnival, though it’s only been running a short time. Go read the most recent edition. The fourth should be up soon at viva la vida, on the theme of Storytelling, or reclaiming our selves through our words. In the mean time, check out the carnival homepage.

The Carnival Against Sexual Violence: It’s run by Marcella Chester of abyss2hope and is published twice a month. The carnival covers everything from law to personal stories to raising awareness. Go read the most recent edition. The 82nd edition will be held on 15 November, so get your entries in before then. More details are at the carnival homepage.

The Carnival of Feminist Parenting: This carnival is based at Mothers for Women’s Lib and is run entirely by Anji. Go read the most recent edition. Submission details can be found at the carnival homepage. Expect the next carnival on the 15th.

The Carnival of Feminists: COF is up and running again, thanks to Lindsay and Amelia of Female Impersonator. Go read the most recent edition. Don’t forget to read the carnival homepage. The next edition will be held on the 11th by Scarleteen, with a particular focus on teens and young feminist voices, so submit.

The Disability Carnival: It’s pretty fabulous stuff. Go read the most recent edition. The 60th carnival will be hosted at FWD/Forward. The theme is disability and intersectionality; check out the call for submissions. The carnival is coordinated by Penny L. Richards at Disability Studies, Temple U., so more details there.

The Down Under Feminists Carnival: The carnival, coordinated by Lauredhel from Hoyden About Town, covers posts of feminist interest from around Australia and New Zealand. Go read the most recent edition. See the carnival homepage for information on how to submit to the next edition at The Professional Lap Cat.

These carnivals don’t run themselves, so get commenting and nominating posts, your own or those of others. Some of the carnivals also need hosts for future editions. It’s a lot of fun (and I know because I’ve hosted the Down Under Feminists Carnival and the Carnival of Feminists in the past! And will be one of the hosts of the Disability Carnival in a few days!) and a great promotional tool.
