[call for submissions:zine] DEALING WITH SUICIDE
From Amanda:
hello. as some of you might know, an old friend of mine committed suicide almost one month ago. its been a shock and an incredibly hard time, but i am convinced that something positive has to come out of it.
i'm going to put together a zine. its going to have my writing about stacy, and its going to have facts and hotlines and advice. hopefully, its also going to have writing from YOU.
what i want is this:
write to/for me about experiences you have had with suicide. write about how you've dealt with it, about how you've dealt with or felt for someone who has had to deal with it. write about a time or times when you have felt suicidal and what stopped you from carrying it through, or write about aftermath of your own suicide attempt if you can/will.
it does not matter whether it has already been printed in a zine, or on your website/journal. entries can be anonymous if you wish.
i want this to be honest, and i want this to be raw. i want people to realise that this is big, that this is a problem, that by talking to each other maybe we can stop someone else from being lost.
please contact me about submitting or if you have questions - amanda at
vortex.net.nz.
its been almost a month, and she's still in my thoughts every day. i miss her.
xo, amanda
