To send a letter is a good way to go somewhere without moving anything
but your heart. ~Phyllis Theroux
Thank you for considering writing a submission for Dear Wonderful
You, Letters to Adopted & Fostered Youth. We recognize it is often
challenging to know where to begin the writing journey. Facing a blank screen
is one of the most difficult experiences for a writer. With this in mind, we
offer you a list of words which we hope may serve as prompts in your writing
process. None of the words listed require inclusion in your submission. We
merely offer them to you as inspiration for literary thought.
Dear Wonderful You, Letters to Adopted &Fostered Youth Submission Guidelines
Note: Submissions are welcome from all Adult Adoptees & Adults who were fostered as youth. No professional writing background is required.
