Call for Submissions: Essays & Cartoons!

Details: http://www.drtpress.com/anthology.html

Is your child easy to love, but hard to parent?

DRT Press is seeking personal essays written by parents of children with ADD, ADHD and/or other mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders for a book about the experience of parenting children with such conditions, for publication (expected) in Spring 2011.

Compensation includes 10 copies of the completed book and unlimited discounted copies. The book will be co-edited by author/editor/publisher Adrienne Ehlert Bashista, Publisher, DRT Press and Kay Marner, a freelance writer who contributes regularly to ADDitude magazine, and blogs for ADDitudeMag.com.

ADHD expert, Dr. Edward Hallowell, will write the introduction for the book. Hallowell, a renowned psychiatrist, is the bestselling author of 16 books, including ADHD classics Driven to Distraction and Delivered from Distraction, and the newer, inspiration-filled Super Parenting for ADD. Hallowell’s involvement takes Bless Your Heart one giant leap toward becoming what we dream it will be—a source of affirmation and inspiration to parents raising kids who make it a challenge to stay one step ahead in the parenting game.

Also seeking comic strips which illustrate the same topics. Comics will be printed in black and white only; no color. Because creating comics requires a specific skill set, contributions will be accepted from persons who are not parents and caregivers of challenging children, as well as those who are, as long as the work captures the parenting experience. Contributors will receive the same compensation, and accept the same marketing responsibilities, as essayists (described in the complete Call for Submissions—link below).
The deadline for submissions has been extended through June 2010. If you are interested in contributing, but need additional time, please email kay@kaymarner.com.
