Authors: So You Want To Encourage The World. . .
So you want to encourage the world with your insights and ideas; why not publish your voice? Are you a parent or person who has been dealt a weak hand in the game of life and have developed unique ways to overcome whatever has challenged your well being? If this is the case, MasterpieceFactory urges you to send us your success stories for possible publishing.
You feel lost and hopeless; your life is down in the dumps… If you are like most of us and have a great deal of difficulty coping with your circumstances, MasterpieceFactory would like to hear your story too. Your input is essential to our research and ability to produce Encouragements stories about your issue. Write and tell us about your hardships, your feelings and all your questions that need answering.
Christopher Chaplin says, “Without problems there would be no need for ideas,” so please send us your true stories describing your misfortune and we will research and evolve Encouragement Stories from them.
We are currently accepting non-fiction stories of real-life experiences from professionals or parents of children who have been diagnosed with a physical, emotional and or medical disability, disorder, or disease.
Your writing experience is secondary to your first-hand testimony of your methods for success and both positive and negative aspects of living with your situation. We are interested in non-fiction stories and poems (rhyme and prose) intended for adults and/or youth.
We recognize that all people have individual circumstances that force us to make compromises in life intended to sustain our own survival. When organizing your story if you are not yet an experienced writer please write, “a matter of fact”, submitting your story in essay or point form. Only descriptive elements of your story should take up any necessary length in words.
When writing your story or poem please try to clearly show the problem, how the problem physically and emotionally affected you and/or your loved ones, a description of your and your child’s emotions, your choices, consequences, how it has affected others in your social and private life. How did you cope? Share your breakthroughs and accomplishments, describe your learning props or tools. How it your experience positively and negatively impacted your life? And how do you feel your methods will help others?
If your story is chosen, our team of artists will diligently work with you to create a masterpiece that will encourage its readers to develop their own ideas to manage their similar problems.
