Have you survived an illness, personal tragedy, abusive
relationship, financial ruin, or other life experience that brought you to your
knees? Did the song “I Will Survive,” by Grammy Award-winning songstress Gloria Gaynor, inspire you to rise, survive, and
move forward? If so, we’d love to share your story in a new book of personal
narrative essays that tell the story of how you survived the experience and
how the song influenced your life (essential).
We’re looking for real-life stories that read like
fiction—similar to the stories in the Cup of Comfort book series,
compiled and edited by Colleen Sell. The book will include 50 stories of 1,000-1,500 words each. For each essay selected
for publication in the book, the author will receive $75, a complimentary copy
of the book signed by Gloria Gaynor, and a signed photo of Ms. Gaynor. Submit
by April 30, 2013, to glolo2004@me.com or susancar

This is great info, thanks. :) I forwarded it to a friend I think would be perfect for this.
Thanks-- this is great to know about.
That sounds like it will be an inspiring book.
This is some awesome info. Thanks for sharing.
I survived a 1 cm kidney stone. It was painful.
Thankfully I haven't suffered any major tragedies but I'll keep this in mind if I can think of someone who might have something to submit. Thanks for sharing the info.
It sounds like it could be a very uplifting as well as interesting anthology.
