Call for Contributors

I just wanted to take a moment and mention, once again, that if you are interested in guest blogging a book or movie review on the site, drop me a line and let me know. There are so many good survivor stories being published every day, and Comic Book Guy and I can’t possibly read and review as many as we’d like to. (Not to mention trying to purchase all those books!)

Just this week I was contacted by a couple of authors to let me know about their books, Toilet Paper People, and The Citizen Chronicles; Citizen Out. I’d love to have a chance to read and review both of them, but I also know the limitations of my own schedule. If any of you out there are planning on reading them (I don’t believe Citizen Out has been released yet), or other books about surviving abuse, I’d love to give your review a home right here.

Plus, it’d be great if I had a group of folks willing to be contacted by authors. I get offers for free copies of books pretty frequently that I have to turn down because I simply don’t have the time to read and review them properly. I’d love to be able to drop an email to a few folks who might pick up the slack and keep new reviews coming around here. Let me know if you’re interested!

  • Another Tool in Abuse Prevention – Community

    ByMikeM Reading Time: 3 minutes

    This is where the community comes in. Kids with strong connections to safe adults are less likely to be targeted and more likely to tell if they are. LGBTQ kids are less likely to struggle with suicidal ideation when they have adults who accept them as they are. Kids dealing with anxiety and depression have better outcomes when they have safe adults to talk through their emotions with, who can support them through difficult times. I’ve discussed at length the importance of strong relationships with parents as the best preventive measure we have for keeping children safe and supported. I’ve also discussed, on my other site, the importance of work-life balance and inclusivity in the workplace for parents. That’s what being a community that supports families’ needs to succeed includes.

    The list of five may not surprise anyone, but as you look at what you want to prioritize in the new year, these five things might be helpful, especially finding quiet time and breaks from all the noise in life to focus on what matters to you the most. I think that’s something many of us could use some help with. Check out the interview, and if you’ve read the book, let me know your thoughts.
