Please circulate the attached CFP and propose chapters for this collection contracted with the WAC Clearinghouse and the University Press of Colorado. We are looking for personal stories rather than academic research essays.
We want this collection to represent the many ways in
which writing is a formative, empowering, sobering, motivating or otherwise
defining part of people's lives. We are sharing this CFP for your potential
participation but also for your circulation to any lists of people in different
and varied life circumstances. We would especially appreciate your passing this
call on to individuals outside of typical academic communities who might have
compelling stories to tell which they can tell in compelling ways. This might
include former or current students, relatives, neighbors, friends from school
or college whose lives have taken them in different directions, wherein writing
has played an important and/or unexpected role.
