For the May 15, 2020, submission cycle, we are seeking essays that focus on the experiences of parents with disabilities during the COVID-19/coronavirus pandemic, including adaptive strategies, relationships, support needs, and barriers and challenges.
Submission deadline: May 15, 2020
Subject: "Blog Submission"
The writer of the selected blog post will receive $100 for their contribution.
GENERAL GUIDELINES:
We are currently looking for parents with disabilities to contribute to a quarterly blog on the experiences and needs of parents with disabilities. Contributors will be paid $100 per accepted submission. We believe in placing parents with disabilities at the forefront, and one way to do that is invite them to share their own experiences. We are interested in bringing together a racially, culturally, and experientially diverse group of people to contribute.
Because our program receives federal funding, we’re not allowed to talk about politics. Avoid writing posts that directly support or oppose political candidates, ballot questions or propositions, or government officials. Other than that, though, we’re fairly open.
Blog entries should be between 500 and 1,000 words long. We may edit your posts for spelling, grammar, and structure, but we will consult with you before posting the final edited version—editing is a collaborative process and we want to make sure you approve of our changes. Please submit your writing in an editable format like Microsoft Word, Google Docs, plain-text documents (.text), or RTF (Rich Text Format).
