[Darian Smith]

Thought I would share.  If you feel so compelled to share your story,
I would highly encourage it.  This sounds like a really cool project.
I wish I could get my hands on the finish product.

Call for Submissions: Disability in America Anthology
January 15, 2011
This year, the disability community is celebrating the 20th anniversary
of the
passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the civil rights
law that
protects the rights of people with disabilities. Although the struggle
continues, NYLN recognizes that the realities of people with
disabilities look
vastly different in many ways. With this in mind, NYLN is requesting
proposals
for chapters in a book-length anthology to document this legacy and
record the
stories of young people with disabilities talking about what it is to
grow up
with a disability in this day and age. NYLN is seeking creative
non-fiction
essays from young people with disabilities ages 13-30 (some flexibility
will be
available for compelling submissions from individuals slightly outside
our
preferred age range). People with all types of disabilities are welcome
to
submit. Speaking from personal experience is strongly encouraged. The
intent of
this project is to use personal voices to capture the experience of the
new
generation of young people with disabilities.
