as some of you may know from my other posts around here, i'm compiling a book of stories about cedu experiences. this is what i feel that i need to do right now to get more information out there to prevent more children from being sent away these types of.
i'd like stories from every angle about every element of their experience; students, family members, ex-staff members, therapists, etc. talking escorting, "the program" (and your experience with it), parental manipulation, or whatever else you'd like to write about. if it's necessary for legal reasons(ex-staff members/therapists), published anonymity is ok (and encouraged, if that's what you need to come forth... i'd absolutely love to have any sort of staff member's perspective represented in my collection.) however, i cannot let you stay anonymous with me (such information would NOT be passed on, it simply serves the purpose of verification.) my integrity will not allow me to publish something that i have doubts about; i need to be 100% confident in my collection's credibility.
my book will be formatted so that every person's story gets it's own chapter for which i'll most likely write an introduction. there will be minimal editing, as i'd like to keep them in your own syntax, only making necessary grammatical corrections.
at some point, i'd like to start working on some sort of film (a compelling and firey 'michael moore' style documentary.) for this, i will also need your input, however, i'd like to start working on my former project a bit more intensively before i get into this one.
anyway, please let me know if you'd be interested in having your story/insights divulged. we need to be heard to make the sort of change we're striving for.
please get contact me if you're interested.
