Seeking Short Stories 

Are you interested in writing a short story/poem (minimum half a page - maximum 6 pages; or 200 - 2000 words) about your experience with Alzheimer's/Dementia? 

I'm hoping to feature approximately 100 such stories to help other people understand that they are not alone. If you're interested, please email me your submission. I promise to read them all and promise to notify you mid-September if your story has been chosen. 

Instructions: 
1. Send to: sherylgordon [at] hotmail [dot] com
2. Subject: Alzheimer Story/Poem Submission 
3. Include:

• Your personal story (non fiction).
• Stories featuring the loss of words will get preferential treatment. 
• Do not include real names in your story.
• Word documents preferred. File naming convention: FirstLast. Ex: sherylgordon.docx.
• A Title for the short story/poem.
• How you would like your name to appear. Ex: Sheryl Gordon, Author; Sheryl Maxine Gordon, Musician; sheryl m. gordon, poet (note: I'd like my name to appear in lower case), etc.  

Note: This is an altruistic endeavour. That said, I hope you still think it's word your time.
