Brascoe Publishing is calling for submissions for its latest anthology, Baldness be my friend: Living with alopecia.
Hair loss among young women is common, and is on the rise. Although this is the case, young women who live with hair loss that is not cancer-related or medically induced, suffer from huge self-esteem issues and emotional pain. A big reason for this is that hair loss among young women is not well-known, nor is it well-understood. The impact of hair loss on young women's lives can therefore be extraordinary:
In order to turn a spotlight on this condition, and to increase public awareness about it, Brascoe Publishing are pulling together an anthology of young women's personal experiences with hair loss.
Stories submitted will tell of living with hair loss, and its affect on everything from friendships, to intimate relationships;
The stories will be told by young women who live with this problem every day, and will show their endurance, personal courage, and strength in getting from day to day. It will also show how they deal with their condition, and overcome enormous social odds.
The stories won't just focus on complete hair loss, but that perhaps more crippling condition of partial hair loss.
Submissions are now open for personal stories about being a young woman living with hair loss.
Writer requirements
Writers must be young women (those aged 35 or under), who live with hair loss, or older women who experienced a lengthy period of hair loss during their teenage years and/or twenties. Your hair loss must not be cancer-related or otherwise medically induced.
Submission guidelines can be found at the Brascoe Publishing website, at http://www.brascoebooks.com.au/
