. Call for submissions for The Chocolate Box--copy and distribute!
Writers, Poets, and Artists: A good friend of mine is behind this (she is married to mystery author, Robert Bailey). No pay, but you can help give readers the message: Brain cancer awareness. So it is for a good cause. Read the guidelines below and any questions email by the email below. I donated a flash fiction piece to the cause.
Pamela K. Kinney
Do you write short fiction? Can you write a short general-interest article about a topic like crafts, pets, gardening, automotive tips, or a short humorous piece? Then you could be featured in a new online project to promote brain cancer awareness.
Glioblastoma multiforme is one of the deadliest cancers known, and the most common adult brain tumor. Median life expectancy from time of diagnosis is about a year. Yet, few people know anything about it, because only about 22,000 people in the US are diagnosed with it each year. Sadly, people who are newly diagnosed don't have much time to consider their options because it is such a fast-growing cancer. They often miss out on cutting edge clinical trials because they find out about them too late. Worse, there aren't as many of those cutting edge trials as there might be, due to a lack of funding. More common cancers like breast cancer and prostate cancer get most of the research dollars in this country.
GBM4cure wants to change that. Go here to see the project: http://thechocolatebox-gbm4thecure.bl...
It's a "mini-mag" because it will only feature one article twice a week. The article will be something informative or fun to read or look at, something you might glance at for 10 minutes while you have your coffee in the morning. The articles will be "Truffles."
Like, "Tuesday's Truffle is...Short Fiction", for example. A way for us to offer something free to people, and then give them the message: Brain cancer awareness. We are going to promote it with an ad on Facebook.
This project will not be a "go" until we can get at least 30 good pieces submitted. (Getting behind on the posting schedule isn't going to do much to promote brain cancer awareness.) What we need is something entertaining, informative, and one to three pages long. If it's longer and it's good, we can accommodate it. If you need help editing, we can do that. Also welcome: Art. If you do any arts, crafts, photos, drawing, stained glass…send us your pics; a “Truffle” can also be an image gallery.
This is a way to say, "Here's something you'll get some value out of, for you. Thanks for reading, and here's who we are, and here's why we're offering this. Here's what you who don't have brain cancer should know about brain cancer, and here's why it IS relevant to you." Groups like ours already reach people with brain cancer; we want to spread awareness to people without brain cancer.
Contributors who know someone with brain cancer, or someone who died of brain cancer, can choose to submit a piece in honor or in memory of that person. If we use your work, we will post a short author or artist bio and link to your website, Amazon page, or ebook store.
To submit work, or for more information, please email GBM4thecure at UPSTARTLL8@msn.com. Important: Be sure to make the subject line "SUBMISSION" and type it in ALL CAPS. Sometimes Hotmail may pitch it anyway; if you don't hear back within a week, email again. Prose submissions may be attached as a Word or a PDF document. Please don't send zip files...we can't open them. For photos, send about 14 at a time.
Thank you for helping get the word out about this deadly and terrible cancer.
Sincerely;
The members of GBM4cure.
