Introduction and reach out

Post by Maureenm69 »

Hi. I am a new member here. I’m working for a social media platform with the mental health team. We are looking for those who wish to publish stories in the form of poetry or prose on their mental health challenges and perhaps how they have overcome them or still struggle with them. Let me know if you’re interested.

Hello Maureen,

Actually, this board is pretty dead as of late, and it's a shame.
Not sure how many lurkers are here either, though Paul's show seems to be pretty popular it seems, based on the survey submissions.

So, what's this platform you're working with? Is it online yet?

And do you like to write or compose poetry?

(I appreciate it myself, but haven't produced anything other than a number of Haiku posted here when I was extremely anxious, and in the grip of a bit of OCD :lol: )

Wishing you the best,

SnoringDog

I'm not sure this forum is the best place to search for content to be monetized.

Paul removed the ability to search thru the surveys a few years ago, thinking to maybe publish them in book form...

It may be one of those things where on the hunt for people willing to do pay-to-publish/vanity-press kind of things, in a predatory way

I hope not

Sounds very odd to me!

If I could make my trauma rhyme…………. Well poetry doesn’t always have to rhyme does it.

Interesting concept.
