The book will be a compilation of peoples' personal stories of sexual

Submissions should tell your unique story and what it is that you wish
to share with the community. No set form or content is required. All
forms of expression are encouraged (narratives, poetry, artwork,
etc.). We hope to publish survivors' submissions representing the
diversity of the Laurier community: all genders, all races, and all
sexual orientations.

by April 25th. If you would like to submit but need more time, please
contact us and we will save a spot for your piece in the publication.

to the same address.
