We want to share your story, know what it's like to be you--to wear your shoes, and be grateful for it. Writers & visual artists of all kinds are encouraged to submit. Reprints are accepted.  New and emerging writers, writers of color, LGBT and other marginalized voices and given thoughtful consideration.
