Call for submissions!

Do you have a story of optimism to share with us? We want to hear from you!

Body Image: We are looking for people who have (or had) body image issues regarding things such as weight, skin, wardrobe and physique. These real stories tell our readers that we are not alone and we do have the ability to persevere. We will also accept essays that offer guidance or insight on this topic as long as they also include example stories within the essay.
Tragedy: We are adding a “tragedy” chapter to a future volume. We believe that people need to read about how others have persevered through tragedy to help them cope and get through it themselves.  We all hear that “time heals all wounds.” At “Contagious Optimism,” we also believe that sharing our stories is critical in that process as well.
