Hello again! I wanted to follow up on my last post about asking for stories and poems. My name is Heather Borst, I am 29 years old and I live in Portland, Me. with my partner and 2 dogs Moss and Roli which is where my user name comes from! I work as a therapist at a non profit called Connections for Kids in Westbrook, Me. I plan on opening a private practice this summer to work with people who self-injure as there are no people in Maine who work with those of us who have self-injurered or are currently injuring.
With the stories and poems I receive if the author agrees to allow them to be published I will be coming up with a document for the author to sign stating that the stories will be published anonymous to protect peoples privacy. I am thinking a book like Ophelia Speaks but I also offer other suggestions! Thank you!
Hi there…I just saw your post and think its a great idea. I love writing. i’ve Si’d since I was 17 (am 33 now) and havn’t in years but love to write and definitely used writing as an outlet in the midst of the chaos in my youth so anything you need I am totally down. name can be listed by first honestly I don’t care. I don’t need anonymity as I don’t care what others think. Would we be able to purchase copies to have a collection of all the shared stories and etc? anyhoo what kind of length are you looking for etc. when were you planning on printing it? sorry for all the ?’s. but I think its great what your doing.
