Yesterday was the release party for the new anthology entitled, Monday Coffee and Other Stories of Mothering Children with Special Needs. It contains my story, “Waiting, Still Waiting, For Words.”
InWords Press published the anthology which was the vision of Darolyn Jones and Liz Whiteacre, who are mothers, writers, disability advocates, professors, and now editors. InWords Press is a small, independent publisher affiliated with the nonprofit Indiana Writers Center (IWC) whose mission is to nurture a diverse writing community, support established and emerging writers, improve written and verbal communication, and cultivate an audience for literature in Indiana. Any royalties made from the project will return to the Memoir Project at IWC to give other writers, often marginalized ones, a voice.
As always, it is an honor to have my work published, but I especially love that this anthology will help not only special families but also other memoir writers. Check out the new book on Amazon at the link provided above. A Kindle version is coming soon.
Until next time,
Cynthia Patton
