The Rare Bird Writes is launching in less than a month!
In a nutshell, the blog is a writer's forum where rotating guests and permanent authors pen pieces that make you really think about someone else's perspective. Even if you still disagree with them afterward. A peaceful site that really values first amendment freedom of speech for everyone. The only thing that won't be tolerated is negative hate, backlash, trolls, etc. I have a fast banning finger when it comes to negativity and hate. lol.
Or, as we say on the homepage: Viewed from a spectrum of perspectives, we explore rare opportunities and experiences voiced in a compelling, unique way. This is a collaborative project that asks community members to submit their own stories in order to gain a kinder, more informed perspective on the world. This is your corner of the web – enjoy.
I'm looking for authors who maybe have never submitted a piece anywhere but maybe are a wee bit scared to make the leap. It is scary when you put your writing (soul) out there for the world to see.
You'll have access to an editor that will help you polish any pieces that you submit, just make sure you note that you would like assistance.
I'm especially looking for #strongwomen , #RareDisease sufferers, and minorities to share their truth and give the world a chance to walk a virtual mile in your shoes.

If you're interested in being a "known expert" for the advice column, let me know which area(s) you are a master in. This will be a few months down the road as we gather questions, but it should be very fun.
Thanks all and thank you for being here.
